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

The reason i am requesting for online help is cause am not so tech savy though have flashed the phone twice b4 but with online help from somebody from this forum and he is currently busy with work...
You can PM me, if required... cheers and thank you all for your help
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

First of all, sorry if this is a stupid question but I dont want to post the same in any topic.
I ask if anyone made or can make a WM6.1 ultra light version. I mean, the more recent OS version, but without any application like HTC Home, albuns, players, personal themes or else. Just the plain and simple Operative System, for anyone that want to install his prefered applications.
I'm not a cooker and try some ROM's, but the ones that work fast and stable, got too much programs that never used, and the ones really light, have too many bugs or are realy slow.
Thanks in advice....
i want to know that too
edit: but the closest on i've seen is Mary's Super Light 3.7 (currently using it)

Have you compared this with FIniXNover 3.4 Light? In your opinion which is more stable, faster with less bugs...

Actually, I haven't compared them. As it is now, I use my phone heavily on a daily basis, so I cannot be down with problems. From what I read, there are still some problems with 3.4. I may be wrong, but I have not tested yet.
Don't get me wrong, I think FIniXNover is a GREAT chef, and have tried his ROMS in the past, but for now, will stick with these...
So i was thinking of changin my rom to Cm7 just for android 2.3, is it laggy? dose it drain the battery more ?? Advice please
Im using CM7 and im loving it my battery seems to be better with cm7 running and its not laggy. However i did mess with the cpu settings and my battery died proper quick but now ive restored its all good again. Try it out and see if you like it
IMHO CM7 provides loads of additional features to the Buzz handset. O.k, as a custom rom it has bugs here and there but that's par for the course and most major ones get sorted. CM7 is the way forward ... there are new roms challenging the top spot but aren't quite there yet. You can always backup current rom and restore it if you don't get on with CM7 so no harm in trying it!
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
As said above, I would say to give it a try. Take a Nandroid backup beforehand, and, if CM7 doesn't suit you, you can always get back to your backed up Stock ROM.
Its definitely worth switching though. I am extremely pleased with it.
Only bad thing about CM7 is the font size. It is extremely small that it looks pixelated and takes out the wow out of the UI.
HTC sense looks best IMO, only reason I root is to get app2SD. Thats it.
I always use stock ROMs. Sorting out the bugs itself is a big time eater. I hate it.
Wtf is wrong with the font size on CM7? It's the same for me and was the same on stock/wildpuzzle... and bugs? pfft lol, that's why you stick with the stable release.
Anyway it's your choice, if you're happy with sense/stock, stick with stock or wildpuzzle or the DK sense rom, if you don't like it and wanna try something new and has heaps of themes, get CM7.
Besides, Font Size can be increased as per your will in CM7.
stay with the stock rom, is better, CM7 allways have a lot of bugs

Most of the designs on CM7 are made for high resolution phones, Wildfire having a lower resolution doesn't look great. Post screen shots of your app-drawer, desktop so on.

Bugs are not enough reason to ditch an OS ?. One bug scares people away. Just one bug.
I am not a developer, just an average user. If you can't satisfy me, then you won't sell anything big. Unfortunately, its so.
I don't get orgasm about any new version of anything. I want things that work seamlessly. Changing versions without solving bugs won't help.

This was true, not any longer, after nhnt11 made the required changes to make CM7 look like it is supposed to on LDPI Devices.
Anyway, its unfortunate that CM didn't suit you, but that is exactly why I think all posts in this thread ask the OP to try out CM, No ROM is perfect, everyone knows this, but, a particular bug for someone may be no big deal to another person. It's all about preference. As for me, even I am an average user, not a dev, and, yes, I am not saying CM is bug free, but, for me, they are no deal breakers.
Who said anything about changing versions? I just said stick to the stable releases, not change whenever a new nightly is released, and if you want the bugs to be resolved, post it to the issue tracker, or tell the devs about the bugs and don't whine about it.
It will get fixed eventually, all you have to do is wait.

I spend money/time on something not to wait(spend more time) but to use it. You still don't seem to be able to understand the viewpoint of someone else. And haven't posted any screenshots. What else would be a way to compare ?
Stable release ?. The number of stable releases devs make kinda doesn't go with "stable" actually. There hasn't been a developer version of ROM without bugs.
I go for perfection, bugs just puts me off.
A guy asked which he should use Stock or CM7. And we gave our views from experience with both. As 3xeno said, its all about preferences.
Even this stock ROM has bugs, but chances are big that you will find some more on CM7, altough I've never worked on it. But the nice thing about it that on CM bugs will be fixed eventualy, whilest on stock ROM you're left alone with it..
Perhaps a first step is to go away from sense. I liked sense, but installed Homelauncher pro just to try, and I have found out that I liked it even more than sense. I am now in the stage where I gradualy change all the stock things on my ROM (for so far it is possible). So I know now that I ceryainly will change my ROM once I can.
So you really have to try: you don't realize what can get better unless you have seen other options. And if you are hesitating because of the 'big' step of changinf ROM, perhaps try to change some typic stock things. You will see for yourself if you want to go and see more of what other ROMs have to offer you.
Or that is at least my oppinion: as stated, I've always worked and am still working on the stock ROM.

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.
CM7
Its for my father's HD2, Windows Mobile is pretty much useless nowadays, and he loves the Voice Search feature on my Evo 3D. Its going to be a NAND rom, not booting from SD, that would be too annoying for him to use.
Thing is, there are only about 1000 roms for this thing....... even dozens of versions of Cyanogen.
And on top of that, I don't know how well some of the custom roms with Sense 2.0 or 3.0 would work, or if any are missing hardware support.
I understand you lose performance if you add-on alternate UIs like sense, but how big is the performance hit? Hes not going to be playing high-end 3D games or performing protein folding or anything on the thing, so as long as the performance loss doesn't hit the "Phone becomes laggy, input lags, and it takes forever to load anything" range, I would actually prefer a sense based rom than one without.
Again, I am doing this for someone that isn't TOO technical, though no stranger to computers either, so I don't need a rom packed full of overclocking and root tweaking options (though a rooted rom would still be preferred).
So then, are there any good Sense 3.0 roms for the HD2 available? Got any you recommend? Do they still support all of the phone's hardware?
If not, what would be your next choice? Is there much point in using Sense 2.0 over vanilla android other than the extra sense widgets which he would probably not care about? Sense 3.0 does have the looping home screens and the very functional lock screen that I know he would find useful.
Thanks, I know a lot of people ask for recommendations, but after searching for roms for days and basically flying blind in the "maybe this one will be good, its got a lot of people installing it" category I could really use some advice, especially for a Sense 3.0 rom... if they exist.

If you really want sense, go for a dhd sense 3 rom (Runnymede Sense 3.5 works well on mine), and if you really want looping homescreens, install launcherpro on any rom of your choice.
BUT I'd recommend a cm7/miui rom because in the end, it's still slow.

Not a fan of Sense 3.5 over 3.0 personally.
And just how slow is it compared to CM7? I mean, I understand CM7 will be faster than a sense rom, even CM7 with sense hacked in, but as long as its not laggy or sluggish thats fine, I don't need it to break benchmark records and run the latest 3d software.
I really like the sense 3.X roms... and i don't find them THAT slow (i have a DHD).
But that god damn graphic glitch is anoying, and i'm not going to disable GPU rendering of sense to get it working without glitches... must wait

Im new to NAND HD2, but not new to the HD2 ( sold my 1st one, just got another the other day ) but I just flashed my first Android NAND ROM and I noticed all thse graphic glitches, i thought it was something else. But apparently its a common problem for everyone? No fix Im assuming.
Anyways im curious what you mean by DHD?
GHetting to performance, HD2 isnt bad at all! Im old time Android owner going back to the G1 and myTouch 3G.If you wanna see degraded performance try flashing a Sense rom on a G1 or 32B device. OWwwo
Well I can recommend Rafdroid rom. Its Sense2 stock froyo. Works mostly well.
So, did they ever fix those graphic glitches people keep complaning about?
MIUI builds are very slick, very impressive on the HD2, can't imagine it being any slicker or faster as there seems to be zero lag whatsoever.

I have the same question (which ROM to use?) but this post still doesnt not give me a clear answer. I have been using Mikhei777 sense 3.0 version (original) but it has lots of lag and is fairly sluggish. He has upgraded it a few times but now seems to be spending more time on the sense 3.5 version. Its my wifes phone so do not want to keep trying new versions. Just want someone to recommend a known good stable version...

Strange, I can't find that one here:

I've been using Mikhei777's Android 2.2.1 Sense 2.0 rom for quite some time. It works great and haven't had any problems at all with it. The wifi hotspot works also. Not sure about bluetooth and USB tethering stuff. Don't use them. He deleted a lot of the useless system apps but there is a rar file you can download from the first post that has all of the deleted stuff in case there is something you want to put back in it. I've only put on Facebook and the text to speech stuff. I'm not using an ext on my phone since I have a TMOUS HD2 so, I don't have memory issues. Give it a try. If you don't like it you can always flash something else.

exactly, wise words...
if you want a good rom with everything working, miui is the way to go. If your friend is not a hardcore techie, he better stays away from those Sense roms. try it for yourself and compare.. but seriously feature wise Sense is so outdated compared to miui (except the htc widgets maybe).

The worst about MIUI, it's that laggish launcher/desktop.
I don't know why... it fells "low frame rate".

That's why I use PAT's MIUI Rom with Sense launcher. It combines the best of the 2 world's. Very fast,customizable and everything is working like in other MIUI rom's and a very good, customizable launcher with the most important sense widget's.
No graphic glitches, not a disabled GPU acceleration and camcorder with full resolution and without lags. And the newest Android 2.3.7 version.
Use this rom since some month's, will never go back to the slow sense rom's. Only the dialer facebook integration of the sense dialer isn't there, but I don't have facebook and Co. But there is already an alternative dialer on the market, probably he can also display the actual feelings (posted in facebook) of the incoming caller and such nonsense.

now you have surprised me not sure which version of miui you are refering to, but i am on jan-willems miui and there is zero lag (its butter smooth) on the luncher. basically there are no issues at all.
btw installing a 3rd party launcher on miui is a no go, as it decrases the fuctionality.. people no offense, but you need to read the miui bible

one question, what do you mean by:
"Only the dialer facebook integration of the sense dialer isn't there, but I don't have facebook and Co."?
When i get a call from a Facebook contact i can actually see its profile pic from facebook. On contact details i also see his status or last comment or whatever its called clicking on it, opens the facebook app and goes to this comment. is that what you meant?
If you are looking for a good ROM, Team Blue Droid have produced an excellent sense 3.5 Rom which looks the business and works far better than many others I have flashed recently on mh EU HD2. I am not that technically minded regarding SD card partition types, but I run mine via SD card after flasing a 1024 partition using CMR and the accompanying DAF.exe.

There are missing also the hardware switching widgets (WLAN, Mobile Network...) but all is in the top status bar. You have only the contacts and the calendar widget, but it's enough for me.

How many free ram do you have after start with this rom?
Hello, I am a desperate GT540 user, a real desperate user.
My problem with my phone as is now (official 2.1) is that it is so laggy at times. The response is so awful from time to time that I really want to crash the phone at the wall (and damn I just painted the wall).
Sometimes when I got a call it shows instantly who is calling, some other times it start ringing, it slowly light the buttons, then the screen, then it show some graphics and finally it identify who is calling me (and the whole coffee shop at the moment is looking disturbed at me like "what take so long to pick up?").
This lag can happen in other places too, like for example when opening my SMSs.
My last hope now is a custom ROM.
What I want?
Well I don't want to play games or have some mind blow performance in benchmarks etc, I just want to use my phone as a phone, I want it to be quick and responsive.
I do care about the apps to work ofc (GPS and Gmaps can come in hand all the time) but I don't care if those apps are slow or the games are losing frames etc.
Also I want to have some android version that allow me to install apps in the SD card, if possible. Otherwise a workaround is something than nothing I guess.
So which rom to get? A link on how to install it as well will be very very welcome.
Thanks in advance!

The bug doesn't sound like a problem, especially if I am aware of it I will not have a problem at all.
Is there any step by step guide to install this?
Thanks!

Thank you very much, I hope this can give some life to that phone because I really hate to realize that I wasted 200 euros on that phone.
(I mean wasted because first LG abandoned the support while the phone was still on the market, and never got a newer android version and because I want my phones to be with me for at least 4-5 years, before I get a new one).

Wifi bug is now fixed.
Sent from my LG GT540 Swift
I use mur4ik's CM7 ASIS rom and I purchased and set up Autostarts from Market:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
With the combination of these I am satisfied.
Many apps are started by different activites, like "phone unplugged" or "recieve sms" and I disabled the unnecessary app starts with Autostarts.
I mean my alarm clock does not start automatically anymore if I plug the phone in for example and many many more like this.
With this method my phone runs smoothly.
yes asis is good if you want to flash a fastboot version use the mirror in my sig its compressed so it download faster
Mikes Beta 4
ok... so I set things up to install the CM7.
I follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224747
but it is missing the fastboot.exe, the link is invalid. Any other link to get it safely?
Also it is noticing the situation of no LG logo and animations at startup, a situation that applies to me as well and it recommend this solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10238074&postcount=41
The problem is that with the solution is another missing file "out.kdz", the link get's me in some Czech site, which requires to install some toolbar before it let me download.
So any other link for that file as well?
Also anyone knows if it is required to fix the Boot logo problem before I go on with the recovery?
Download Android SDK tools you will find fastboot.exe there

I am completely noob on this thing, where can I find those tools?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/tools-notes.html
EDIT:
I got it working!
I found the files here and there and I followed the guide posted above.
Now I have Cyanogen Mod 7 on and everything seems great so far
Thank you everybody for the help, you just made me happy
original post
Thanks.
Any idea about the other file? Or any idea if it is not necessary to fix the no LG logo problem, to add a custom rom?
edit: I got the SDK zip but there is no fastboot.exe in there :|

CM7 is good, whichever u use! Guess the best cm7 is pcf but i've not tried all of the roms released!
I recomend u to use froyo (2.2) cause has the best performance, REALLY smoth, fast, everything... And our phone gets it best than GB, cause i've tested that when I get a text or Whatsapp msg, the keyboard shows faster in Froyo than GB (FOR EXAMPLE) which mean that has better response.
I recomend u Froyo cause i'm like you and I get what u say xD, I hate when someone calls and I can see who's, or the lack of speed on daily things or common things as showing an img or smth similar!
Best froyos are PCF 2.2 v2.3 AOSP, Superfast Froyo (airbus360) and MikeG's CM6 Froyo... Give then a test or test all roms you want so u can choose on your own!
But be REALLY carefuly about the process cause some bugs are shown when flashing roms!
Remember to clear cache and load battery xD
Thanks, but so far the CM7 with 2.3 is OK.
I have no lag at all and even the battery life improved.
Of course it is a bit early to be sure that this is my mod, but so far everything is fine (the wifi bug appears from time to time but not always, but it work after a few attempts).

Ok i understand thats your opinion, And ofc i have no problem with that
Whats with everybody saying froyo is better for our phone!
I can honestly say the best rom for our phone at the minute is Mikes ICS (if your willing to cope with out Deep Sleep. YES i know its a big ask )
I cant understand why even mike appears to say on his twitter ICS dosent make sense on our phones.
Ive been hovering around these forums for the past 12 months + and i have try'd all roms that have been posted. Im Picky
But Mikes ICS is out right the best for looks, speed, smoothness, performance and multitasking
I have had absolutly no problems using ICS (deep sleep not included )
Its a shame there seems to be more support for Froyo than ginger and ICS
like for example if i had to move from ICS i would go back to GB because for me it preforms better than froyo.
Is there Something ive missed with froyo or can a hardware issue cause a rom to preform differantly on 2 different devices.
(guess i had the one good processor of the line )
because im baffled why people choose froyo
@up i like froyo better then gb
i dont really think for me that is that cm9 is ready for daily use yet some bugs not squashed
