Does someone has an advice for me concerning a good rom?
Here are my most important wishes:
1. 100% stable
2. Good battery life
3. Sense (would be good but no must hav)
4. Gingerbread would be great but froyo works as well
My device: htc hd2 leo eu 512mb
It would be awesome if some of you could help me out. There are just too much roms out there. And I cannot Decide wich to chose.
Your experience would really help me out.
Thanks a lot

My choiсe is TyphooN CyanogenMod 7.
This ROM is really fast and stable.
Battery usage in quiescence is about 4 mA.
But no Sence... For me this isn't problem, becouse I use Spb Shell 3D.
its all about personal preference, some will recommend sense roms some wont
you will not find a gingerbread fully working rom with sense yet, it is still in the developement stages, it is normally best to test out a few different roms and go with your own choices, personally i cant stand none sense roms due to the keyboard
I recommend you to start trying any from the SD. I have started testing americanandroid and I'm very pleased, too stable.
i prefer this rom:

When Mike update his base for the ARHD rom, a lot of feature/mods needed to be be updated. like themes etc.
I asked a theme developer to update his theme and he asked me why should he still be udating sense 2.1 when theres already a sense 3.
I thought of that, even though we dont have an official sense 3 release for DHD, but most dev have achieved a stable sense 3 roms for DHD.
I can easily swap roms, but am a good fan of mike1986 and would like to make a request for a sense 3 based ARHD. since everyone is flashing sense 3 mods, we can all as well beg for a sense 3 rom.
i understand its a challenging request to make but i started this thread to ask other intrested users to support me. please vote
and hope mike and his team would put this into consideration
hit thanks if u like the idea
the idea is to keep this close to stock and as stable as possible. i'd rather have a reliable rom that functions properly than a bunch of flare that causes issues. mike and team have provided the proper OPTIONS to add these elements to the rom if one chooses to do so.
I'd say that's a rather bad idea, since Sense 3.0 was never designed for this device, is still unstable and certainly slower.
ARHD is not one of the experimental ROMs, it stands for stability and performance.

Sense 3 sucks. It doesn't matter what you say it slows the device down. The only way ARHD should move to Sense 3 is if there is an official update from HTC with Sense 3 included. Otherwise it is Sense 2.1 all the way baby!
I beg to differ. Im on virtuous unity, and its stable as hell! What is this criticism based on? U say this and that bout sense 3, but have u tried a sense 3 rom?

Sense 3.0 is designed for phones with a dual-core processor, no?

designed, mike can design it to work on any cpu, thats why he is the best, thats why this request.
even if there is no switch, he can still make a new rom, to add to his catalogue of roms
Like others have pointed out, the concept behind ARHD is to keep visual stock and to improve the performance etc. If you would like sense 3 goodness, flash the addons or simply move to another rom.

mike has already answered this!
he WILL move to a sense 3 base ONCE HTC RELEASE AND OFFICAL DHD SENSE 3 UPDATE
until then he wants to stick to a non ported offical base, who can blame him! it runs so slick!
at the end of the day its his personal time that is taken up developing arhd for us, and this is why we like it so much! if you dont then move to a ported sense 3 rom
arhd is one of the best roms. i would suggest to keep one as close to stock as possible and one seperate arhd rom with sense 3.0, so once its perferct we can all flash
i agree unity rom are really niice !!

No. Sense 3.0 was released on phones that have dual core processors, but it really doesn't make a difference. All of the Sense 3.0 stuff, I bet, will be mostly running off a single core.
It's just a matter of porting and optimising for the DHD.
As to whether or not ARHD should move to Sense 3.0, no. The whole point is that it's a ROM that runs off of the latest stock base. It is supposed to feel stock, work like it's stock, and run reliably like it's stock. Because for the most part, it is stock.
If you want Sense 3.0, you have two choices already, RCMix3D and Virtuous Unity.
I am also an ARHD fan but now im using Virtuous Unity, its stable, ok not as stable as ARHD but its sense 3...
sense 3.0 is cool but ARHD is maded for ver2.1 and this step may cause troubles...

The point of add-ons is the freedom of choice which one, and when to use them!! I would say ...
Sorry... you guys missed one feature difference -> DOLBY..
I bought this phone mainly for Dolby + HTC
Sense 3 dosent support DOLBY so a no go from me...
Other than DOLBY sense 3 is a good ROM to be with DHD

Same here. Sense 2.1 all the way.
flashing the add-ons won't eat much time if you really want a Sense 3.0 feeling to your ARHD Rom...

This. This is what I have done. All you are missing out on without Sense 3.0 are widgets (only Photo Grid comes to mind), the camera with HDR (which you can use on the latest base without problems, though you are downgrading the framework doing that) and 3D homescreens (which by nature have a low frame rate).

Hello guys,
I bought brand new HD2 and want to replace W6.5 with 2.3.4/Sense 3.0, NAND(been told SD installs are quite slow).
But I`m struggling choosing build - there are SO many, I`m totally confused.
This page lists all of them, but which one I should go for?
android.hd2roms.com
I don`t need any special features, mods, fancy stuff - just original 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0.
Please advise
Ta
It is not possible to get Gingerbread 2.3.4 with sense, only 2.3.3. Also, I don't wish to confuse you but SD installs are far from slow. In fact, many people say that MccMBoxMax GS (SD gingerbread with sense) is faster than NAND builds. I would advise you not to use Gingerbread+sense for a while as there are loads of annoying glitches, mostly graphic but also the power menu doesn't work and third party apps need to be used for some things. Try AmeriCanAndroid (SD) it is extremely fast but has no sense, stock gingerbread.
Thanks Nigel.
Ok, then 2.3.3 with Sense 3.0 - does it exist?
I looked on some screenshots of modified builds - some look quite terrible with kiddy graphics, hence I`m looking for most stock version without heavy mods.
Hi, i have just installed "Pyramid HTC Europe 1.35.401.1 - Real 3D V1.5" which is gingerbread 2.3.3 & sense 3.0, has some graphics glitches but runs fine, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075703
There are plenty, just search the forums. Anything with 'Kingdom' included in the title has Sense 3.0, and there are a fair few ROMs with Sense 2.1 with parts of 3.0 (e.g. lockscreen, widgets etc.). I personally don't use NAND roms and have never tried sense 3.0, so I couldn't recommend anything.
You Should Try CoreDroid

Nigel,
If you have to recommend, what would you prefer? I know for a fact NAND isn't as fast as SD, and no Sense 3.0 due to graphic glitch.
I have the 1024MB HD2, not the Euro version, which is 512MB, and willing to try the SD Android. I've been in NAND, but always come back to WinMo 6.5 because NAND always gives me crap. Never really tried SD Android, but since there's a person, such as you, who's recommending SD Android, which is the most stable, and fast? Just looking for ROM, doesn't matter if it has Sense or not, just stable with minimal to NO flaws.
Thanks!!!!!!
Well, seems that there is no 100% stable Android version for HD2. Just have to buy Sensation then.

LOL man! Search the threads in HTC HD2 sub-forums and you will find very very good Roms for daily use! No need to buy a sensation! Flash your 1st NAND rom and then you will be a flashaholic like the rest of us!
I can assure you that Android on HD2 is faaaaaaar better than the Android on the official devices!
That's why XDA exists; To make things even better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then the questions still stands open - is there a 100% stable/glitch/bug free 2.3.3 with Sense 3.0?
a lot of the sence 3 builds are still a little on the buggy side so if you dont want sd roms because they are slow you might find sence 3 roms annoying as well. no sence 3 ROM is 100% bug free. this website will list all the android roms on xda both for sd and nand. it also will list if its sence or not and is a great site to grab your roms from...really it links you back to XDA but its easier to scroll through. i personally like the ANIMATED SENSE ROM. if you want a great fast but not sence 3 nand ROM i would go with RAFDROID and BLUETOPIA HD is a great starter ROM as well. though what i like and want on my phone you may hate so i would really suggest you try each of them out for yourself. keep the ones you like best on your sd card if you have room that way anytime you need a change just flash over a new ROM.

no and there are no roms that are 100 percent stable/glitch/bug free
go buy the sensation and be even more disappointed
this thread is just the same as all the other which is the best rom threads
its disgusting that no one seems to be able to search and read
anymore
everyone wants thier hand held and everything handed to them
Looking for a Sence ROM which works and is lightweight for the HTC Wildfire (not the S)
Anybody got any suggestions?
Thanks
I ´m also looking for a lightweight Sense Rom.
It does not matter if is Froyo or Gingerbread.
It must be light (have olny essential Apps like BT, Telephone,SMS,Keyboard)
and quick.
I use Jokerdroid 4.3.1 but i think you (I mean the members of this cool forum), know much better sense roms.

You can't term the other ROMs "lightweight" since they carry the full Sense feature set.
I think I'm giving up with sense just lightweight now!

In that case, you have a ton of options in AOSP. The most popular, of course, would be Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread)

Hi guys
Was wondering what kind of Sense 3.5 rom you guys are using and why.
I'm on RCmix runny 4.0 atm, but it seems that the rom died. Thread is closed and nothing going on in the android syndicate forum... While its still a good rom i feel like there is still room for optimizations, and as new bases are coming out or are already out i really want to a rom that provides updates from time to time (doesnt have to be every week ya know )
So what are you guys using?
I am using, as you will see from my signature, Virtuous Affinity. Like RCmix it's not being worked on at the moment as far as I know, but it does say on their site why.
It seems since ICS that 3.5 has sort of been dropped.
There is no best rom only best for you.
A search would have shown you this.
