For NAND: What's faster and more stable? What do you prefer and why?
Pretty much all aosp gingerbread ROM's without sense are stable and fast. They can be used as daily builds with almost all features working flawlessly. The two CM7 builds give much more customization and options, but often are not as stable. For the best battery life I would suggest a gingerbread build with noting on it (no CM7 or sense)

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.

Hello
Im new user with desire Z and now im seeking light weight + stable + fast rom.
I managed to root my phone nicely and now im looking the ultimate rom for me.
Any suggestions?
-S
If you like the stock 2.2 sense-based rom, you can always go for a stripped and deodexed version, which will have more space and arguably be a bit quicker than your stock rooted rom.
You can also choose to go with CM6 or CM7, these are basically 2.2 (CM6) and 2.3 (CM7) on steroids, with tons of enhancements and they've trimmed the fat at the same time. CM7 is extremely fast in my experiences, but is not in its final stable mod yet. There has been 1 release candidate (RC1) and several nightlies since then that have been working just fine for me. Although everyone seems have their own little issues with them because after all they are experimental builds.
I'm partial to CyanogenMod because they've been making wonderful software for me since I started with Android last summer, and its always been great. I'm sure there are also some great sense-based ROMs out there (similar to stock DZ roms + enhancements), as well as MIUI ROMs, this is up to you on personal preference, but I've given my suggestions based on what I've used successfully.
Read and experiment. =) I'm partial to CM, as I don't like sense, but that's me. You may find you like sense. Root + eng hboot + Clockwork pretty much sets yu up for fairly easy, pain free rom changes.
If your looking for lightweight and fast, I feel its best to avoid sense. Vanilla roms are slightly quicker and cleaner in my experiance.
Agree that CM is all around faster and smoother than Sense based. I used the stock Sense ROM for about 2 months. Sense seems to use lots of CPU and RAM. I have been using CM7 (RC1) for about a week, and its much smoother and faster. In particular, the Sense homepage and launcher are very sluggish in comparison. I don't think you can call CM7 "lightweight", it has lots of features cooked in (and very cool ones, at that). But it certainly fits the stable and faster requests.
I want to flash my HD2 with android NAND rom, I'm not looking for someone to show me how to do it, I have found the instructions on the forum.
What I want to know is which is the best rom at the moment which is stable and has good battery life for daily use, on winmo I can get about 3-4 days on standby. At the moment I am running Andorid from SD, having looked around there is lots of roms which don't have much to differentiate between each of them.
So could anyone help by telling me which rom is the best and if there is any known problems with NAND installation of andorid, I would prefer one with HTC sense.
Thanks
One of the most stable NAND Roms for HD2 is TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly that you can download it from here and does not have HTC Sense. IS very stable, Battery last for many days in iddle and has good battery life for daily use :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
I have tested this Rom many times and is very reliable, and it has 200MB free ram when you turn on the phone (It needs 45-60 sec to boot!--> crazy fast). It has an overclockable kernel, that means you can overclock or underclock the frequency of CPU in times when you playing or you want to extend battery life. Thus is one of the most updated roms in XDA-HD2 Forums (Gingerbread 2.3.4)
Roms with HTC Sense they don't allow HD2 battery last for long period as much as the roms without HTC Sense. The most reliable roms has Android Froyo, Gingerbread version with the latest HTC Sense which is smooth and fast has many bugs such as Camcorder, Graphic Glitches and the power menu works only once. Otherwise if you don't care about the version of Android the most stable roms with HTC Sense is imilka's Roms (Personal Opinion):
imilka's RAM Desire HD v2.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369&highlight=imilka
imilka's Incredible Sense v1.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963521
imilka's Vision Sense v5.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898708
You decide which rom fits to your needs.
But come on! Test and test and test roms in order to find the most appropriate for you!
Happy Flashing!
had positive experience with roms from boyppc...
The best Sense ROM for battery life imo is Skinks Clean Desire (it uses Sense 1.0 instead of 2.0 so that nay be why), the best ALSO is definitely Typhoon CyanogenMod.
Sent from my HTC HD2 überphone
thank you all very much, I think i'll leave the sense and try typhoon cyanogenmod 7.
Installed typhoon 7 all working perfectly fine so far, thanks again guys.

Why do you want JB rather than KitKat? Both CM11 and SlimKat are already significantly faster and more stable than CM10 or SlimBean, in my opinion. I've been using SlimKat 4.0 for a couple of months with no major issues. It's not quite as fast as CM7 (due to the increased RAM requirements of KitKat compared to Gingerbread), but it's much faster than any of the Jellybean roms. See my guide here for tips on installing, customizing, and improving the performance of SlimKat and CM11.
try slimkat as mentioned above. That's what i use daily and its stable enough.
OT: But cm 7.2 is still (significantly) faster and More stable than eg slimkat for the daily usage? Is that right? From your experiences...

CM7 is still slightly faster than SlimKat, in some respects. For example, when pressing the power button to wake the screen, on CM7 the screen comes on almost instantly, while on SlimKat there is a 1 second delay. Some apps also start and run slightly faster on CM7, probably because of more available RAM.
On the other hand, SlimKat is slightly faster in other respects. In particular, the wifi speed is significantly faster on SlimKat, at least in my experience.
In terms of stability, it's difficult to say. Both CM7 and SlimKat seem perfectly stable for me; no significant problems whatsoever. However, some users still report having issues with bluetooth, wifi authentication, and telephony layer problems.
