hi guys..
got a bit of a question.
ive read through many of the related posts but havent quite found the right answer to my question.
i have a tmobile hd2 with the latest official winmob rom, and have been trying out various android roms booting from sd.
well, heres the thing... there seems to be a two distinct types of roms in how it works after booting (several times to settle things down).
some lag and some simply dont.
for eg, rafdroid and mcmjoon desire hds have a distinct lag. it intermittently freezes.
on the other hand, core cell build, gingerbread builds and froyo superram builds have no lag/intermittently freezes.
its not an overall slowdown of the operating system, its intermittent short freezes.
i like some of the stable established builds but so far im resigned to only use those that dont lag as i cant figure out whats different that some lag and some dont.
am currently using darkstones superram froyo thats really very nice. i just wanted something with more eye candy and had sense cooked into.
anf btw.. what exactly is the security flaw thats a problem with darkstones superram?
thanking ya'll in advance for any and all replies.

Sense uses alot or takes up a sizeable chunk of ram and storage so you can expect that sense makes roms bigger which therefore should in turn make them slower. So in all you won't find a sense build that is as smooth and fast as non sense builds. It's like a computer, the more stuff on your computer, the slower it runs.
Try the superam sense from darkstone, very fast with sense.

thanks for the replies guys.
appreciate it.
am using superram froyo and so far its the bees knees!
im not talking about the general slowness of any build. that i know. some builds are faster than other but im talking about intermittent freezes. everything just stops for a moment and then continues. even typing on the on screen keyboard.
the most obvious that ive recently noted was between rafdroid and corecell for example. corecell ui is uniform, its not as fast as gingerbread or darkstones build but there are no freezes. rafdroid (and others) also have a a similar speed but inter spaced with intermittent freezes.
i formateed the sd card before trying any new build and only used the same card for all of them. so im wondering if im doing something worng or could it be something to do with radio versions... i'll admit that im a noob and it took mee weeks of reading before i had the balls to even an sd build of android. so this may be something of a simple question.
im using a stock standard hd with the the newest firmware updates.

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

Been using Typhoon and its been ROCK STABLE to me and this is coming from a person that flashes new roms religiously.
Okay so I've tried all kinds of ROM's and I definitely love me some Words with Friends... I'm addicted! But the problem is is that I love Sense ROM's a LOT lot. Something about just Non-sense ROM's don't do it for me but I'm having LOTs of trouble getting Words with Friends to work properly on it.
I've been using NDT MIUI ROM and HyperDroid CM7 and WWF works great! But Sense ROMs like CoreDroid, which I LOVED when it was SD Android and the NAND v1.6, as well as imilka's Incredible, as well as imilka's RAM DHD Sense, WWF just doesn't cooperate! Lots of Force Closing and lag! So sad! Is there a fix for this?
I tried the whole thing about the adfree and changing host file but still having problems! Is it my phone? ROM? Kernel? I just want to know the problem!!! And if there will be a fix so it can put me out of my misery and I can stop flashing so many ROM's and then switching back because I cannot use WWF!
Im having the same issue. it drives me insane and its one of the few downsides ive found on the new sense roms. if anyone has figured it out i would love to know how to fix it.
Very weird! I'm on old Sense (2.1) and all works fine for me, but I'm assuming you are on 3.0/3.5?
Hope this isn't a common issue as I was about to upgrade my SD Rom
hi there...
Firstly thank you to this forum that I converted my phone from W6.5 to ANDROID ... whooppieee AND i am truely excited about it...
I loaded the Lady Miui Rom first and it worked very well though missed the 'sense' elements in terms of sms, layouts, backgrounds etc.
finally have moved to Pyramid Sense 3.0. But i seem to be having the following problems:
a. The graphics have thin lines on the top of the screen like some sort of distortion. Does ne1 else have it too ?
b. Battery life is quite short. It probably lasts me only 8-9hrs though I hardly use the phone (and there are no animations or widgets that I am playing around in the background.. have checked all of that). I have kept a non-animated screen saver, no weather apps too (though I love to keep it!) to keep the battery running...
c. moving from one screen to the other takes a tad longer for it to load. Even when i dial numbers or type a text message its not real time ..
I love the ANDROID...and no doubt I want to stick to it... guess i now realise what i was missing from so long but sadly the above things are being a real put off for me...
Any suggestions on any "other" stable ROM (especially for the battery) or solutions on the above ?
As always, I truely appreciate everyones time and effort in building something new and hats off to the developers for that... and to those who provide meaningful detailed insights to users like me.. Thank you!
Cheers!
pyramid rom is very nice and stable...only camcorder lags.....its having graphical glitches which is normal....but moving from one screen to another is a prob.....have u created 5/240/5 partition ?
hi sachin... i followed the instructions while loading the ROM.. the graphical glitches are to do with the display.. it gives thin lines flickering in the centre of the screen (like how one saw on television in the earlier days) .. didnt notice it in the Lady Miui ROM...Battery is another MAJOR challenge for me...
Have you tried ne other ROM.. ne recommendations ?
ya graphical glitches need to be fixed by devs...we have to wait for that....
lady miui rom is very nice and fast ...
i think u have to try mwakious rom...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175728
i like this rom alot...
if u wants sense 2.1 based fully wrkng roms then u can try boyppc roms...which are stable and fast,,,,

I will agree with you mate...if you want something more stable you must try one of these roms...i got mwakious as well and the developer is doing updates very often...
now sense 3.0 is on its first steps ! so nothing stable for now.... as the developers of xda are working hard for it
PS. read all the descripion before trying a rom cause everything they write is important!
thanks mate.. any other suggestions on ROM's... have also started noting the following problem in the last few days...
- when i click on android market, while it is connecting, it just freezes up and then i am forced to shut the phone and restart it from scratch.
- Battery drainage is also quick in spite of me hardly using the phone - 3-4calls of around 1-2mins each and 8-10incoming sms's. Dont have ne other applications donwloaded as the graphics giving a slight problem (refer to my 1st post).
Really thinking of changing this ROM... any suggestions would be of help...
Cheers
try rafdroid desire hd (but i recommend it with raf's 1.9oc kernel,you can flash it later), or coredroid v1.7, or langthang's ndt ginger (really fast)
another vote for NDT Ginger sense 3, graphic glitches are gone change kernel to Rafpigna 2.0 OCGB to fix BT and wifi issues, all running like a dream
ive had this rom for 6 months now and version 7.0 is out,the graphic glitches have gone and there's alot of fixes,alot more memory,alot of crap removed,download this version and flash it,u won't be upset lol

Hi, as I don't have enough post to reply on dev pages, I will ask my question here... The problem is that some people can't hear me when I'm talking with them on the phone, I need to yell so they can hear me good... is it up to a radio or it's up to a ROM? is there any fix for that?
thx

thx m8, I downloaded HD2 Mic gain, and there I have values from 200 to 600, what would be the best value to choose?
Thx
Try values around 400, maybe a little bit less. You´ll see if it meets your requirements when you make next call. With this APP you can change it easily and quickly
thx so much, I adjusted it that way, tomorrow I will make a call and test it
Hello there.
Im not sure if there ist something like that but if not i realy would need it.
A ranking of the Roms or something like that.
I am trying arround some and have found many with grafik glitches and other problems. I have problems to understand in the nand thread which of those tons of roms are good. The newes? not realy.
anyway im serching for an android rom which is minimum 2.3.5 and with a good version of sense + facebook sense.it should be as stable as posible and everything should work excapt the 720p recording.
could someone give me a hint or share experiance with me. would be realy thankful.

Well this is going to be my own personal opinion on some sorts. If you want a fully stable android 2.3.5 then I would suggest the CM7 mod, as for 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0, I would suggest the Energy Rom. (Also both roms are NAND devs).
I think pretty much all sense 3 roms still have quite a few problems and every sense rom I have tried has been slow and laggy with graphical problems. There are a few sense 3 roms out now so your best bet is to try a few out and see if you are happy with any of them over a stock gingerbread rom which are alot smoother and more stable.
Start with ENERGY SENSE 3, RUNNYMEDE SENSE 3.5 and BOYPPC SENSE 3. Read the first few posts of each rom to see what works and what doesnt and also the last few pages of each rom to find out if there any problems with the latest version. You can then make up your own mind.
Mark.
ist there a link?
A sticky list would be great with data like :
Name - Camera (Stable, 720p) - Multitouch (Yes/no)
The dev forum is very uncomfortable for a clean search.

There is a website that a member made to compare all versions and hass a good look. The website is *HERE* and has a few filters to find the rom you want. It doesnt go into great depth but it has basic information and could be useful.
Mark.
I did about the same search. The glitches in every rom with Sense 3.0 did me drop Sense at all. I must say, in my experience the CM7 ROM with Fancy Widget is a good stable replacement.
