Hi,
I'm currently owning a HTC Desire myself, which has been rooted since I first got it. I love exploring ROMs to find out wich one suits me best.
My problem now is that my wife owns a HTC Tattoo (not rooted). Lately it's become filled up and now she can't either install new apps or use the phone in a "normal" way. Everything seems to be really slow...
Of course she can just uninstall a few apps and the problem should be solved, but that's not a solution, that's just avoiding the problem. I've been looking at the ROM list provided at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698576 but the only 2.2 ROM with Sense UI is without working camera.
Is there a ROM out there with Sense and with support for apps2sd? Preferrably lightweight... Does she need 2.2 to get apps2sd?
Thank you!
/Martin

there are all custom roms for tattoo. I think that most of the roms support apps2sd(not only froyo roms).
Many 1.6 ROMs. A ROM with camera support is 1.6.
What about the HCDR rom?

Im just waiting for the reversed libcamera

It works with the camera.
Specifically Ice Glacier and CM6 and 7.
I know the Pros but I searched all over the place and can't find some Cons. I know CM6 doesn't allow access to front facing camera. Is this true for 7 and Ice Glacier?
What other things might not work?
TIA
P.S. I am rooted. I just don't have the guts to Flash a rom yet.

I am running cm7 nightly #37 I think and the only thing that I am noticing is that my ringtones dont stick after I do a reboot. Other than that I use Tango and the front facing cam does work. I dont see any other things that are not working. I have been running this only for a couple days and maybe not seeing other things not working. All in all the rom is fast and I am loving some gingerbread!! Do a nandroid backup so you can always go back if you want.
There are zero cons to installing ROMs. CM7 is just fantastic.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the biggest difference between CM6 & CM7?

Froyo vs Gingerbread, I think, but don't quote that as I don't run a CM ROM.
With any ROM you will roll the dice on what will/won't work for you. I have had absolutely zero issues using the Ice Glacier ROM in my sig. However, if you read recent posts in the thread for it, some people still experience issues with things like WiFi, slowdowns, battery drain, etc. Not all silicone is created equal. Just backup your current stuff and flash something to see how it works on your phone. Doesn't run well, has some issues? Pick a new ROM or restore backup.
cm 7 is based on Gingerbread -- Android 2.3. Numerous changes, Google for them.
Big con to any ROM...bricked phone through user error, user stupidity, user ignorance... Take your pick. The risk is low but it exists. Manage and mitigate it through careful study and a firm grasp of the procedures to be used.

Thanks for the info. I agree about doing the research before anything. That's why I haven't flashed any roms yet. I still need to do some more research.

It is extremely difficult to permanently brick your phone. The only way I know how to do it is to flash the wrong kind of radio, which you normally don't even have to worry about flashing.
Let's see... there's a thread in this very subforum where someone damaged the partition table of their internal flash drive, and lost /system, and could find no way to recover:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952272
The root cause may have been from pulling the battery at an inopportune moment, and the OP gave up before exhausting all options, but the phone is logically bricked.
Hardly any unless you're not careful with instructions. CM7 RC1 is fantastic.
Does anyone see problems with 4G coverage with a newer rom, or is HSDPA not a concern?

The stock ROM and those based on it do not differentiate between 3G and any faster network. All are indicated with an "H". CM displays UMTS as "3G".

Only cons are you void your warranty and you could screw something up if you aren't careful. Playing around in non-userspace is only for the well-informed.
Arguably, you could consider it a con that your ROM isn't officially signed by the manufacturer/carrier and that it's not "official," but I don't see it that way. A good dev team like Cyanogen's is probably just as good, if not better, and they can roll out updates much much faster. Nightly, in fact
FWIW, I was one of the few who did experience problems when flashing (CM7 in my case). Each time I flashed, I would lose more and more functionality on the physical buttons on the front of the camera.
- First flash, "back" starts acting flaky (doesn't work sometimes, sometimes requires long-press to work).
- Second flash (to try to fix the problem), back button no longer works, "menu" is now flaky.
- Third flash, menu is gone. Somewhere in there the genius button also stopped working.
ClockworkMod Recovery's key test showed that the system wasn't even seeing the keypresses. Sounds like a hardware problem, I know, but the changes noted occurred only when I flashed. Also, when I reflashed with the stock MT4G ROM, I got the menu button back (but not the back button).
All that said, a) I searched high and low and couldn't find any reports of anything similar, and b) TMo switched the phone out with a new one with no questions asked.
It's not all user error, and it's not all hardware. It's a combination, and like others have said you have to try it out to see. If you read enough threads on this forum, you will find negatives about everything. Do the research so you know what not to do, and the rest is up to trial and error. The variables around which people judge ROMs are so complex that the vast majority of information is opinion. Just make sure you give any ROM a couple of days before you really form your own.
Biggest cons for me when I first started flashing ROMs on my old MT3G was that sometimes stuff wouldn't work. Wifi issues or GPS might be buggy or battery drain. 9/10 issues can be fixed with a reboot or just wait for the next nightly to arrive.
I love flashing ROMs. I'm on CM7 RC1 and before that was Nightly #35. I had my MT4G for 7hrs before it was rooted and CM7 on it.
You're already rooted and most of the time thats when people break their ****. So get Clockwork Mod and Nand backup, flash and rock out!!!!!!
Most of the "danger" is in the actual rooting process, flashing ROMs and mods can at most cause an inconvenience.
Any time the radio firmware or hboot (bootloader) is flashed or modified, that is where the danger of a true bricked device that can not be fixed occurs.

I hope that I am posting in the right place, I am rooted(Yeah) I flashed CM7 RC1 but at the moment, I like my stock ROM without all the bloat ware, my problem is this, How do I go from CM7 RC1 Gingerbread back to Froyo ? I did a back up before flashing CM7 RC1 but when I attempted to restore, my phone froze...Any suggestions or Ideas, anyone else have this problem ? Thank you in advance for your help....XDA Rocks and thanks to all the DEVS who put such great effort in getting these great ROMS out to us....
Use a 2.x version of CWM to flash a Froyo ROM.

I want you to recommend me sense nand rom with sense version 2.1 without sense version 3.0. I have been serching 1 week and I couldnt find rom like this. There is imilk's rom but it boots only to the black screen with green HTC logo.
Thank you.
Update the thread
imilkas roms worked fine for me. first boot can take a long time but there should be no problem if you flashed the correct partition layout.
glacier sense from imilka was the most fluid and snappy one that i tried so i would recommend you to try some of imilkas roms again. i think he has 3 good versions with sense 2.
the hd2ram, vision sense and glacier sense.
i would first make sure you have done each step right because if its not loading something went wrong somewhere. make sure you partitioned correctly if the ROM your using calls for it.
to answer your question though i would suggest either RAFDROID HD or BLUETOPIA HD both are desire hd base and very good ROMS with working wifi/gps basically everything. The only things i seemed to notice is that with RAFDROID HD you cant share pics within the camera app & you cant have a custom bootanimation. it still is by far the best rom i've used and i think i tried just about them all. BUT asking a few people what ROM is good your bound to get a lot of different answers. check out this website for an easier way to find ROMS listed here on XDA. you can find that website here. just click 'show all android roms/builds", that will bring up ROMS going back to January i think. it will even show some useful info right from that page about each ROM.
Is there a stable mod with sense 3 or 3.5 for my touch 4g? Does everything work?
Also, does anyone know where I can get detailed, step by step instruction for rooting and installing a ROM like CM7.1... I need something that a grandma would be able to follow... thanks

ALL sense 3.0 roms are very stable, the best and my favorite is Virtuous Unity (found in the development section). all the sense 3.5 roms are very stable and nice as well, THE ONLY BUG FOR ALL OF THEM IS UPSIDE DOWN FFC, BUT THIS CAN BE FIXED BY FLASHING A SENSE 3.0 CAMERA.ZIP FILE.
as far as rooting goes...

Thederekjay and royalknight's Darkside Sense 3.5 is pretty dang spectacular.

Same here! might need to flash a new ROM if it doesnt get fixed.
I want to install Virtuous Affinity 2.0.5.0 (switching from Virtuous Unity 2.39), but also want to install Rom Cleaner or No-Sense++ to remove some Sense bloat while keeping some of the other Sense components (e.x. - camera). Do those scripts work on the MyTouch or is there something similar? Thanks in advance.
I'm running that Rom now, & its pretty straight & debloated already...its really a good Rom.

ROM Cleaner and No-Sense++ originally came from the idea of slimming down the well known popular Android Revolution HD ROM.
But the scripts should work universally for all Sense 3.x ROMs. i checked the script, and all it does really is remove and add apps and stuff in.
So, yes, it should work on Virtuous Affinity...
Thanks. I guess I'll try with and without the scripts to see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the quick and helpful responses.
Does Rom Cleaner only work by using it right after you flash the Rom? I'm using the Android Revolution Rom Sense 3.5 and the only thing I wanted to get rid of would be some of the widgets

Hey guys just found this thread by accident.
If you have questions about ROM Cleaner we have "a" thread for that. (links in sig.)
Please feel free to ask anything.
If you get any problems we will most likely be able to help you...
No-sense++ hasn't been updated since early stage of Sense 3.0 and No-sense is a different thing compared to ROM Cleaner made by me and my team.
