I'd rather post a quick question to people who are dealing with this frequently, than trawl the web, sift through junk and install something which has lots of bugs.
Cheer up, its not all bad.
Thanks for the link.
you'll have to forgive XDA, recently it has attracted many young people that get bullied at home and school, this is a place they can come and anonymously display their e-toughness. Just ignore them.
btw, i dont think there is a sense rom that has everything working like your stock version. i hope im wrong but i was interested in rooting to use sense, in the development section i couldnt find any that didnt have disclaimers about things that arent working, so i havent gotten to try it out yet. But again, maybe im wrong, and i hope i am.
Without a criteria of what he is looking for other than good and stable it's hard to give a good answer. It's not about e-toughness, it's about searching, putting together an informative post, and reading the forum rules.
'cymru' is 100% correct. All it took was a search and reading comments about what does and does not work, then nandroid backup and try the rom and see if it passes the "good and stable" test.

WHat he said.
Sense UI has its bugs on the N1. I think LauncherPro is 100x better than Sense UI. It's just not as smooth (this is coming from experience using it on an Evo 4g)

I'd run a stable sense rom if there was one with Launcher Pro as my launcher... I want sense for the camera, calc, dialer, calander, emails etc. not the launcher. The applications on it are just way better quality!

Well there are some roms that have ported sense camera, and apps.
I do believe my "The Official" rom has them. It didn't come stock with the sense camera, but I had it installed (easy to do from spare parts, plus I have 720p recording).
The best you can do is look for a rom with those things ported over.

I might check that out...I tried KingKlick's latest rom and my phone rebooted all night long with it. Lamesauce.
I agree with cymru, its not that hard to click one section over to development and see what's there instead of someone making a new thread everytime, and xda agrees. Not a big a deal yes, just saying I agree

Luckily i've been a member for a number of years so don't fall into this category...
If it wasn't for XDA recently attracting many young people that weren't taught at home or school in how to do something for themselves once in a while they wouldn't have to come and anonymously display their e-laziness. Just shut up.
EDIT: THANKS JRBOURQUE ^
Hi guys, if the battle for whos the cleverist is now over, heres some feed back for the advice given.
I've installed, Evils q&d sensefroyo. Been running it for a few days, its cool. A little buggy, a few force closes, high battery use, no bluetooth, but very usable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730290
Again thanks for the input, hope this helps anyone else who was looking for similar info.
Cheers.
I tried kingxclikz and Paul's r23 roms, I must say the first one is very buggy and there are no ways to use it even for 24h(though I think it needs an eclair radio),Paul's rom is way more stable but the lack of Metamorph themes,trackball mods and BT are too important.
He promised to release a new version soon so all we can do is wait and see!
Ughh. No BT on any sense ROM then?
Is anybody even working on bluetooth for Desire roms? I don't think anybody actually is. There are a few people I think might be capable like Paul but he's busy with other things now by the looks of it

Lots of good info on my webpage, I will no longer be using the name I used before because I will be putting up a large app review section, as well as choosing the top dawg roms and reviewing them.
UPDATES (newest in red)::
:::::::::::::::::UPDATE 3/17:::::::::::::
Ziggy 471 kernels added. Perform damn well for HTC based kerns. Very excited!
:::::::::::::UPDATE 3/16:::::::::SavagedZen 2.1's:::::::
ok, this new kernel rocks. SZ .2.0 Is up on my website for download and for voting and it's on the graphs. Amazing results to say the least. Most significant battery changes in a long long time. Closest to 42 on linpack ever. They just released a .2.1cfs so I assume they forgot something in the .2.0's. Usually that is what happens when they release a .x.1 right after a .x.0 So I will update the downloads accordingly. But I know that the .2.0s perform bugfree for my everyday use. Maybe it was just the SZ governor they forgot to merge again or whatever, I dunno, I'll look into it. Enjoy the results.
I am absolutely not allowed to tell you to click on my ads. But do what you think is right. and try to do it every time you visit the page lol.
!!DON'T FORGET TO VOTE WHILE YOUR ON THERE SINCE YOU'RE GONNA BE THERE ANYWAYS.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP FINDING THESE KERNELS AS THEY DROP!!
VOTEVOTEVOTE Click here to vote on your favorite rom. Post in this thread if you want to see other roms reviewed and voteable!!! VOTEVOTEVOTE
Wow, great work, that's a lot of info in there.
Are you planning to test some of the non-sense kernels? I saw somone post a quadrant score over 1700 with the MiUI test rom, would be interesting to see some of the AOSP results.
awesome work man... its gonna be great to see everything side by side like that
one question tho: no love for the AOSP kernels?
edit: apparently I have been beaten to the punch
looks like King's # 6 is the best all around...
from what i saw....i could be wrong
yeah, AOSP kernels would be great to see data for compared to all of these 'almost the samey' kernels.
and I'm back from work lol!
Yeah aosp kernels I am going to do add in next. I just tested snap with turbo, and LOL omfg 2500 in quad is insane.
Linpacks didn't go up though, so it must not have been dalvik vm optimizations. I wonder what turbo really is.... hrmm
And yeah, on sense roms i use kings 6bfs as my daily driver. Error free, smooth as silk, and lightning fast, all with amazing battery life.. Kings 7bfs and 8cfs had some really weird problems and I wont touch it. It was jerky as hell, didn't score well. I tried several wipes/reflashes/redownloads, etc. without resolving it.
very nice!! thanks for the contribution!
ive been doing the same thing charting rom (with and without custom kernels) development progress from 2.1 stock all the way till now with fresh and netarchy.
Its just fun to see how fast the phone has gotten through the months since release.
Dunno if and when i'll get the time to illustrate the data, but its been my little side quest too!!
cheers homie.
Can't wait for the AOSP kernel results! nice work!
Great work. However, if I may offer a suggestion, please add the stock kernels so we have an idea as to how they compare?
I too would love to see a comparison to stock. I haven't made the jump to a new kernel yet, but I want to soon and this thread is great for helping me pick which one.

This is a great idea. I don't know how I overlooked that. I will add them very very soon. Possibly tonight if i have time.
skydeaner said:
Everyone always asks what the best kernel is, or what the differnces are between them. I decided to spend a month or so testing stuff. I made a webpage where all of you can view the differences. I will of course be continually updating the page with new kernels and hopefully new tests as well. There is my contact info on the page, and you can just pm me here also if you want. Of course I put up a donation link, don't flame me, it just takes a lot of my time to do this, so I figured if anyone appreciated it and wants to donate then my kids can certainly use the diapers lol.
Enjoy the data everyone
More info is of course available on the page. I will be gone for the next hour or so and then I will be able to respond to everyones questions/comments. Thanks for looking,. I suck at making webpages lol.

Hey netarchy, glad to see a kernel dev in here~! Woot. Let me know if you have a new kernel in development, a updated version of 4.1.9.1, or any other one you want to send me to test out and add to the list.
BTW skydeaner, your donate link isn't working for me.

Nice write up. Definitely helpful
Nice work man
We all appreciate your hard work and contributions.
Htc 6 and 7 kernels added in the mix! Eat it up peoples. It's easy to see why 7 has everyone praising it over battery life. It has an extremely low idle power draw, and that is what most people's phones do 90 percent of the time anyways.
will someone please send me the 3.29 kernel from the new OTA? send it to [email protected] or [email protected] and I'll have it on the list tomorrow. FPS Unlocked straight from htc??? ZOMG they listened to evo owners WOOOOOOHOOOO!. This should lead to some interesting hacked versions of it. They fixed the battery life, and now this. You'd think they care or something lol.
super impressive, i just rooted a couple of my friends' evo's this evening and this was super helpful. I'm on cyanogen but they both wanted to stay with sense. will definitely donate on payday, hope you get the aosp kernels added in.

2500? Keep pushing, some people are getting up to 2800...
I'm sure I will get flamed but here goes anyway. Everyone is jumping on to the MIUI bandwagon, and yes in my opinion it does have a few cool features, but not enough to win me over. Am I the only one on XDA that kind of dislikes this rom? I've tried to like it but I just can't. I like roms that tend to be more stock anyway, I think modded froyo such as enom's rom and cyanogenmod etc. have all of the features and beauty that I need. I see a lot of people saying think iOS and Android together! If I wanted iOS I would own an iPhone and not a N1.
I understand it is all preference and whatnot, but I can't be the only one who hates the MIUI interface. FM Radio cool! Interface not cool! I know I can install other launchers but to me that kind of defeats the whole purpose of running this rom.
I'm not going to mess with it anymore, I just wanted to give it a chance.
Am I the only one who doesn't care for this rom?
Sorry for the rant
It's okay. I dont hate or like it
Haven't tried it. It looks nice and well done but the iOS styling doesn't draw me in
Think I'm gonna try it, but I'm with you flapjaxx

Probably.. I just don't see what the big deal is about this rom. I posted in the general forum so I am allowed to express an opinion/vent a little about a rom thats getting a lot of attention and I personally don't see what all the hype is about.
By the way you did read and reply to my thread.
Yea you're correct in stating that installing other launchers defeats the purpose. I liked it for about a week but went back cyan...now i'm on micromods hybrid...for me the sense roms got me hyped up. If the Mui wasnt iphone'd up then it would actually be really sweet but that whole iphone thing just ruins the experience and awww of having an android device
I agree with you OP. I dont like it at all. Now the fact they made a new UI is cool, but like OP said, if I wanted iOS, I would have bought an iPhone
haha fair enough.
I am not too big on the iphone icons either. However, I do like the lock screen, speed, and the battery life.
Also it isnt as obvious as in cyan, but it does have .flac support and will stop playing music when you disconnect. However it will not play upon reconnecting.

The lock screen is slick. It does seem speedy, I can't confirm battery life only because I wasn't able to use it long enough to really wear on a battery. I do appreciate that there are so many choices with custom roms and the dev team that created this rom has obviously worked hard and it shows. That is the beauty of android, so many choices. It is a very pretty rom no doubt, but I just prefer a more stock type interface.
The MIUI ROM looks nice, but I also prefer a stock, simple look. Im happy to see them pushing the envelope though.
the big hype is because MIUI is a complete overhaul, different than what we are used to. Sometimes a change once in awhile is good, and MIUI is a great change I jump from cyan to MIUI. FM radio, lockscreen, and the UI is amazing, I do prefer different style icons but that's about it
It's a very, very optimized ROM. Battery life, speed, the super-neat toggles in the notification tray. You can just install another launcher and still benefit from all of the above plus the great lock screen, FM radio, and excellent phone/SMS/contact apps.
I Agree, with launcher it's really a nice rom !!
I like the resent part who include a task killer.

And who told you that you have to use it and are not allowed to use anything else???
If you don't like it use something different. Whats the problem?
I don't like pink colored t-shirts so i don't wear them. I don't blame anybody else that wears pink t-shirts. I don't tell anyone that I hate them. I just don't wear them.
Same thing for you, if you don't like MIUI Rom don't use it. Try it, if you don't like it restore nandroid backup and forget about it...
And shut up, keep it for yourself that you don't like it.

Umm...dont use it then?
Just want to say I tried the port for my Inc, but went back to cm6.
Though I don't feel as if its my flavor of ROM, I do want to say it is very innovative, and probably the first (at least on ROMs for the Inc) of its kind to really truly redesign the interface.
So while I don't use it, I would definitely like to see more transformations of this kind.

Well i guess you have a wrong concept of the MIUI rom. It is not because of the launcher ppl like the rom. But because of the tweaks. till now there are no roms to my knowledge where you could change the lockscreen within the android os. ( i am not talking of 3rd party apps like widget locker....., here it's different. it's the native one being modified. ) we havent been able to change native phone and contact.apk, we were just applying themes. but the MIUI is different. Even when you go to settings in the menu, you'll observe how things get snappier and all bouncy. Not to mention the little menu's in the lockscreen ( now being seen in the sense HD), answer&reject mods when receiving calls... and the FM radio which were unknown and still being documented in the xda community. Basically everything has been modifies here, even the mms.apk.
so i guess it is wrong to make such an assumption based only on the launcher which ressembles the iphone. I have been using the MIUI with launcher pro and I had amazing battery life.
If you do not like a rom , just don't use it. Why dont u make another thread saying that rodriguezstyle is too greenish or micromod's roms are too glassy ( sorry chefs , lol . it was just to make my point). or maybe somebody else should start another thread saying i hate stock looking roms! Of course you can come up with all these talks that xda is a community forum, everybody has the right to bla bla bla , democracy.... and you do have the right but it is all about MANNERS and RESPECT here! You do not critise someone's work ( which you are getting for free btw) just because of ur taste!!
Why is it not mandatory for people to post screen shots of their ROM, when submitting a new thread for people to try it?
I personally don't wanna waste time and hassle flashing a ROM to find out it's ugly and not well made.
You can spend hours, days, weeks building a ROM.. but can't take 3 seconds or less to take a screen shot?
Why should it be made mandatory? We all know what Sense ROMs look like. We all know what AOSP ROMs look like, we all know what Miui ROMs look like. If you cannot put two and two together to get four maybe you shouldn't be flashing ROMs. Screen Shots do very little to illustrate how well a ROM preforms. It just shows what it looks like. You don't look in the paper for a car and think "i want that car" without test driving it first. And you do not rely on other people test driving the car for you then reporting back to you.
I personally have no problems with them not offering screen shots for their ROMs. I'd rather download it and install it and test it for myself. After all it's easy for us to say what we like on your phone.
Because if the ROM is not themed (which will be stated) they all basically look the same. We all know what AOSP looks like, and we all know what Sense looks like. Why would you judge the ROM off of someone else's wallpaper?

But for people who does know the change log alone speaks louder than the UI. This is why most stick with pure CM7 (NB/RC/SR) based.

I understand where you are coming from. but though out time i'm sure any Android user has seen all of the different UI's. They might not know what they are named, but they know what they are, and have seen them. That's kinda the point i'm getting at. I'm not trying to sound like a jackwagon but someone doesn't need to hold their respective hands 24 / 7.
Self accountability and self responsibility i guess is a thing of the past.

for what it is worth.
And i completely agree with your judgment call on leaving vanilla just plain vanilla.
mmcblk said:
But you miss the point again. Most of those new roms now are all CM7 spin off and they honestly offer nothing new other than the Theme. This is not debate about UI as we know what it looks like but this is to shed light on the folks who puts a theme and declare it a rom. SS is needed because they have diff theme if it was plain vanilla they wouldn't exist now would it? Now I am not bashing any dev's but come on do we really want to go in that path.

I guess we are side stepping each others argument. We'd make good politicians . SS would provide a good insight to how the ROM is theme'd, and how it looks... And i'll give you that. But it will not do any justification on how well the ROM runs. How smooth it is or anything. My point still stands. Screens shots will not tell you how well a ROM is built it only tells you how it looks.
I agree with the OP, ss should be mandatory if you've done any form of custom graphical changes. While it wont depict the performance, it sure will give an idea on the appearance. Whether its food, cars, women & even roms, appearance is a deal breaker for me

This thread reminds me of trying to get my wife to pick out an adw theme...she was so fixated on what the wallpaper looked like in the sceen shots that it made her dislike some of the themes. There aren't many super themed out ROMs in our dev section, and the ones that are do have screen shots. Like I said, for the most part you are just going to get a picture of the wallpaper someone is using.
I know a lot of people in these forums would tell me to try out each ROM and see what I like best, as I did with my EVO 3D. I just got my Acer Iconia A500 yesterday, and rooted this afternoon after careful reading and downloading all necessary stuff. Anyway I want a STABLE, sexy, easily themeable ROM and I'm not too familiar with Honeycomb yet, as my EVO 3D is still Gingerbread. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate it.
TIA!
kjy2010's Icy Faux 3.2.1 was a great, solid ROM. From what I understand, though, he is no longer here at XDA. With that in mind, Civato's Flexstriker is pretty damn good. I haven't really used any of the other ROMs enough to give an opinion on them.
Please install Thor's ROM v14.2 . It's stable, sexy, and handy. I tried Honeylicious also, and I can say that Thor's ROM offer much more useful function like the quick bar toggle and shut down menu while being smoother and quicker .
the best
If u want speed, stable rom, accurate gps, easy customizable and clean easy interface give a try to Lightspeed 2.1 with stock kernel.... smooth like butter, no crashes at all... very very good rom
There are not many ROMs available. You can try every one
As for me, I tried a couple of ROMs and decided to keep on the stock one. Just rooted it and removed all Acer apps.
Yeah like other have said, try each one and be sure to test out all functionalities you would use.
I like KYJ and CIVATO roms but for the life of me I can't get GPS to work. Only ROM that work for me is Thor 14.2 but that does not mean you will encounter the same issue as I have.
In my opinion if you want a ROM that is all the things you described civato's flexstriker base 8 R2 is really nice and its got a few different theme choices and also thors ROM 14.2 is a really good ROM as well just not as much with the theming
+1 to this.

Thanks, I'll check the flexstriker out shortly. I'm running Tabooyes ROM right now. Seems good, a bit of glitch/lag but overall pretty good. I do want. A themeable ROM though as this Iconia is my new fav toy!

Taboonay was really good before I went with an ics ROM. No random restarts and very fluid

If you want a rom, suited to your needs, then download a base rom, and take the time to learn how it works.
Hit up the dev threads, and the mod and android chef threads.
Learn how to change it to what you want.
This is how you learn things. Learn how to de-compile, and manipulate xml.
Know what images are called in particular situations.
You said in your OP, you wanted to know how to change things, to make it sexy.
The above is a start.

Stop it Erica, you know you are not the same origin. vixen you are....
Unfortunately, I adhere to "native source" and genetically compatible devices. Although I am tempted.
But I offered a method to allow a user to customize a way, to suit the needs.

MD is right, I'm a big fan of Honeylicious, but plan to start doing a little cooking myself soon since KYJ isn't on anymore to do more w/ Honey or Faux...
Most important, back up your pad before you do ANYTHING and Have FUN!
Good Luck!

I was running KJY's ROMs, but then when he stepped away for a while during the holidays, I suspected what could happen next (and it did -- he permanently left). So after that, I went back with ezterry's 3.2.1 "stock-ish" ROM, removed a few more things I didn't want, and then used ADW Launcher EX to pretty things up. I've been using ADW EX on my A500 since almost day one of ownership. There are TONS of ADW themes out there, and there are plenty of other customizations you can do in ADW EX that will make it look night and day different than the stock HC launcher.

Um I never said I wanted to learn how to change things, maybe you should read the OP a little closer? If I knew how to do that I wouldn't have asked... thanks for your help though...

What Recovery are you using... Are you doing all the proper wipe via Recovery menus. Also use the Tegowner site to get ROM, don't trust any other source...
