Well guys, I am running on unity now and I've got the beats addon. I like beats audio enhancement very much. But however the sense 3.0+roms are just too heavy for me to use, as it is laggy and I can't multi task(I don't want to use the sd partition as it damages the sd card)
I am a music guy so I need a good music output for my dz
Can someone recommend some roms that have a good audio output ,lite and fast? It can be any kind of rom except unity, dhd port sense 3.0 ,beatmod and runnymede,as I have already tried them. If by any chance somebody have a beats audio mod for sense 2.1, pls tell me, I'll be very grateful to you, thx.(it'll be best if the recommended roms run with sense)

Download Neutron MP3 player app.
It is perfect for an audiophile.
Beats, to be honest, is a pile of marketing crap.
Doesn't sound nearly as good as the Neutron MP3 player.
Which ROM are you using?

Use cyanogenmod 7, and use DSP manager, built in. Its brilliant. More bass than beats mode
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
oddly enough I could never get cyanogenmod properly working, it would be stuck for hours on the cyanogen loading screen and wouldn't actually run.
Have you tried mexdroid? It's got the cyanogen dsp built in and sounds pretty good, but I have never used Beats so I can't compare it. I tried that recommended music app above and hated it.
+1 for mexdroid ghost chilli, if you really don't want MIUI or sense with sd ext.
Thx xT4Z1N4TRx,Well tried and the sound really is pleasing thx, but I just can't stand the stock android UI (poisoned by HTC Sense)

Well absolutely agreed with you, the player really did SUCKED and the player pro is much better with a user friendly UI, and with themes XXD.BTW, If you hadn't tried beats, try it pls and I'd like to have some comment on the beats mod vs cm7 with dsp. ^,^
+1 on Neutron music player
It helps out your audio sound quality much more than the Beats silliness
and don't forget to use wav or other lossless music formats (such as flac) if you are serious about good sound, mp3's sound like crap if you are used to full CD quality such as a wav file.
Neutron is not free though ($5), Player Pro would be my 2nd choice, and it's also $5
keep in mind though, the difference in music players makes a small improvement, the difference between lossy formats (i.e. MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC) and lossless formats (WAV, AIFF, AU, FLAC, APE, WV, M4A, TTA) is HUGE!
Well I don't mean to insult any neutron player users, but I personally really don't like that player, the scrolling is buggy and the UI is very ,you know, somehow not good, that's why I gave up the player at once

to use CM7 you need to do a full wipe. (do a nandroid first!)
the nightlies are good stuff.
to the OP: try cyanogenmod7 nightlies, they have DSM manager.
So is the sound quality in miui roms really not that good? I heard that they suck LOL
I really want to go to miui for sometime but am I am not sure about the sound quality and I don't have the time to check out every rom by myself. I hope someone can give some advices.

MIUI is pretty crap on sound output, although, the performance is pretty zippy but faced more FCs compared to CM7.1. Went for Bulletproof MIUI, but the general issues are inherited from the MIUI base.
Recently, I have moved to ILWT CM7.1 and used multiple versions from ILWT. This seems to be the best for me yet and plan to stick to it. Couple of things that made me move include much much better sound, more stable, less FCs and OS environment native to android.

Try the ILWT CM7.1. Simply go to your CWM Recorvery, do a full factory wipe, dump your cache and install the rom zip. This has always worked for me for most roms - generally the miui or cm7 based roms worked flawlessly using the above method.

OK thanks for the advices guys , just a few questions to ask. Is it fine if I am using 4EXT recovery than CWM to flash? And how is the sound volume? Cuz on sense roms the sound volume is really low.

Hello and thanks for your time.
My DZ is driving me nuts. Phone's rooted, s-off, radio's changed--basically fully configurable. I've been experimenting with several roms and have yet to find one that "fits". Virtuous Unity--lags, Virtuous Affinity--lags (when I say lag I mean 20+ seconds for the notification bar to slide...), CoreDroid (latest) lags to the point of not being useable, G-lite--no lag but no features such as a decent calendar widget. All the ROMs I've installed have swap enabled and disabled--not a helluva lot of difference.
I'm looking for a sense ROM (is that wrong?? oh well) preferably gingerbread, that runs well with basic eye candy. Now please don't misunderstand, all the ROMs I've mentioned are works of art and kudos to all that develop them, I'm not trashing anyone's efforts here. Just looking for some people that have had good ROM experiences...or can offer some insight as to what I may have screwed up in my phone to cause this poor operation...
Thanks to all
Try the rooted ota version of gb sense made for your phone.

Go back a few pages and look at the sense 1 and 2 (and hybrid) roms. There are a lot of hidden performance jems there. Here are some my old sense favorites...and they are all gingerbread!
Virtuous Sense v2.0.0
Desire_Gingerbread_Sense 1.2 (very light/fast sense rom) (v1.2)
Synergy - (RLS1.1 10/9/2011) - Now With Warm Sprinkles!
InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.6.1)
You can't go wrong with any of them!
Thanks! Can't wait to try them.
This is a great forum
Virtuous sense 2. It's what the stock Rom should've been. Smooth, fast and sense.
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
I use RCMix4.0 Energized Blue Edition and works beautifully...smooth and fast... its GB 2.3.5 and sense 3.5... u should try it!
Go back to G-Lite and ditch LauncherPRO for GoLauncherEX and download their GoCalendar app. Also, if you want FB sync with contacts while on that setup, download Contacts by Contactapps and enable FB contact syncing. Smoothness of AOSP with the versatility and functionality of Sense in one package.
I'm on Affinity at the moment and the lag isn't really unbearable. Sure some functions take afew seconds longer, but having the native integration as well as Sense 3.5 justifies the slight cost in performance. Overclocking to 1.5GHz also helps alittle with the lag.
are you sure you want sense?
for me all sense-roms i tried i got lags, too.
if you dont not "need" sense. check this rom: ILWT
it is awesome!
yes RCMIX3D 4.0 is the best ROM i think
You can try Android Revolution hd 7.0, is very fast and smooth Sense 3.5 ROM.
Just my two-pence worth - when you tried affinity did you enable swap?
Affinity is now my daily driver - with swap but without supercharging - supercharging have me very bad results - has been pretty rock solid actually, if not rocket fast.

Hi all,
Currentely I'm using Leedroid ROM, it's my first custom rom. Becouse of lack of any recent updates I decided to swith to some other rom. I really love Lee's philosophy and tweaks so I'm looking for sense 3.5 rom developed in similar to Lee's way. Two most important things to me is stablility and smoothness.
Which rom would you recommend me?
If you like Sense 3.5 based ROM, I would recommend you Virtuous Affinity (http://www.virtuousrom.com/). This ROM is great, very stable, and battery life just amazing compared to other Sense 3.5 based ROM I tried before this (ER3BUS XL 3.5).
But if you want stock Sense 3.0 feel without any crazy mod in terms of stock graphic and user interface like Lee's ROM, have a great stability, speed, and performance I suggest you to try Android Revolution HD (ARHD).
One thing I didn't like from other custom ROM for DHD beside those two are the other dev is trying so hard to modify the Sense interface, in my opinion it's kind of bad move since it's ruin the whole Sense experience, because not everybody had the same kind of taste as the dev. So, without any hesitation, I suggest you to go for Virtous Affinity or Android Revolution HD. They are the best.
coredroid is also very good, heavily tweaked for performance...plus it has got sense 3.5
And what can you say about Virtuous Affinity in comparison with Runnydroid?

I know that virtuous does some good job when it comes to rom, from the experience of ICS rom, virtuous is the way to go kind of thing and i'll be flashing it too to check it out
Im using the RunnyDroid v4
Its fast, have a long battery life and sens 3.5 with the wonderful quick lunch widget
this is the best ROM i have ever tried

im thinking about tryin a new rom while waiting for a new arhd rom to grace us. for me arhd is going to take some beating as its always near perfect for me. what should i try people???? thinking about enery roms as they where the best in the good old hd2 days?
Trying Virtuous Affinity, rock solid till now, maybe a bit slower than Leedroid 3.3.3, but it's sense 3.5.
I think that also I would try runnydroid.
best DHD rom
For me RCMix3D v4 i the most stable with sense and CM7.1 no sense.
The best Sense 3.5 ROM I have tried is Mikrunny, which is basically stock looking but has a lot of tweaks available. Performance is very good and battery is pretty good too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406912
Just try out a few for yourself. Roms ate like cars. Some people will swear by Chevy's and other will say they are crap. Try for yourself to see the best one for you!
There are a bunch of good ones here. The devs are all awesome!
I got your 10 char right here

Have tried all sense 3 / 3.5 Roma, never tried coredroid or cygenomod. Best as to be either capys rcmix roms, or memnocs smartdroid which is heavily tweaked/smoothest Rom ever tried.

Hey. I started with leedroid too. Since then have used rcmix 3d v4 and coredroid v9.2. All good roms. I prefer coredroid out of the 3. I am using LC s ics at present. Its still needs a little work but its stable, quick and the battery life is the best of all the rooms I've used.

I know many people love HTC phones for sense, but if you are willing to go out on a bit of a limb, I would HIGHLY suggest Virtuous Quattro, which is still in active development. Nearly everything is working (camera needs a bit of work) and it is wicked fast. Flashed it about a week ago and I will never again meander to Android < 4.0

Don't agree. It's too unstable and it's rightly labelled RC.
There's just too many things aren't working properly.
Just went back to ARHD - the most stable rom I've ever used.
I'm about to try Virtuous_affinity.
The only super stable sense 3.5 rom running as stock as possible as HTC have released it is E3RBUS XL, very good battery life too

I like the Android revolution, and am trying to install the rom on DHD
[ROM] ER3BUS XL3.5 [GB 2.3.5][Sense 3.5][Runnymede 1.22.461.2][20.01.2012]
OK, so I am not the most experianced modder yet, tried Cyanogen last year and did not try anything since because of it. Then LeeDroid 3.0.3 on a recommendation yesterday, which died when using BT.
Stumbled across [ROM] ER3BUS XL3.5 [GB 2.3.5][Sense 3.5][Runnymede 1.22.461.2][20.01.2012] and awed...
fast and so far everything works as prescribed and expected
I am not sure if I want to look any further.
Only thing I'd like to mention, since the cook JSLEnterprises forgot: the ROM will change the FS to ext4. As far as I can tell, this is NO issue what's however, except it will completely wipe and reformat the internal memory (SD stays untouched) so make sure you have a GOOD backup before you start.
Thanks from me JSLEnterprises, some awesome work!

ER3BUS XL3.5 is currently the greatest gift we have for DHD, the DHD is never the same again with this ROM running on it, you can boost its FPS it to high heavens with ultra smooth rosie and supercharger
What is the difference between virtuous sense 3.5 rom and Erebus XL?
Yours truly.
Hi guys ... I'm currently using Virtuous Affinity, and I've found it to be very slow and buggy, and I really want to switch to some other ROM .. Before Virtuous Affinity, I was using Virtuous Unity, which I found to be much better ..
So right now I need suggestions for a Desire Z compatible ROM, which is based on HTC Sense 3.5 or higher ... Or at the very least, it should be Sense 3.0 or higher ..

I actually need the camera ... If the camcorder is out though, I can probably live with that ..
Every 3.5 sense rom i've tried so far get laggy and buggy after time. I'm now using ICS mexdroid rom and this is really really really the fastest experienxe so far for me personally.
Try the energy series.
Virtuous Affinity 2.05.0 was a fantastic ROM to use after i debloated it and supercharged it. I used it for about 2 weeks with the HTC Amaze cam mod and that was by far one of my favorite Sense ROMs. I normally stick to AOSP ROMs though because Sense 3.5 is just not meant for our phones. That's the reason why we didn't get an update to Sense 3.* and that's also the reason why our phones won't get an update to ICS, because our phones won't be able to handle Sense 3.6 either.
just try android revolution. one of the best roms ever
I tried revolution, same laggy issues after some time. Even if you reboot every day. Pick an ics rom, they are working very very well.

jup, andromadus beta 3 is the best rom ever
ARHD 7.0.4:
i suggest you: unistall via titanium all unused apps/widgets (personaly i have only the calendar and the weather widgets) then you need swap,v6 supercharger,sd boost. enable swap, set sd cache to 8192, run supercharger(my opinion option13 for rosie and 6 for memory)
bulletproof the com.android.mms. cpu sleep 245 conv. wake 1.2+ ondemand.
you will have all time 100+ mb free not loosing you message(i rec to have the ghostly), playable, smooth. always you will have lag or freezes is a sense 3.5 rom in a 512 rem device. is the best that you can do. i have tried everything.
edit:BUT ALWAYS YOU WILL HAVE THE CAMERA FLASH BAG (flash doesnt open in the same time when the camera captures a picture so the image is black) this is the reason i let the 3.x roms. you cant fix it even install the amaze mod camera even a 3rd party app or different kernel...
Okay to cover this one more time:
Sense 3 and 3.5 roms are not ever going to work well on the G2 series. Dead Stop. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
The G2 series does not have sufficient system horsepower to properly run a Sense rom of this series. You want Sense UI and G2 in the same package? Great. Run Virtuous Sense 2. It is based on the DZ firmware and is very stable.
Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

You could keep a backup of a couple different roms on your sd card. That's what I do. Primadonna might not have a working camera, but audacity does.it only takes a few short minutes to switch between roms.

I'm looking at getting back onto Sense. Last one I had was Unity 1.29!
I like the Sense 3.5 ROMS but there is so much discussion about MMS and cameras not working. I know you can install apks to fix those issues but are those problems on all of them? The opinions seem all over the place on these two issues.
In case it's relevant, I'm looking into flashing either BinDroid, RunnyMede Xtreme v2, Virtuous Affinity, or Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.
Any help and thoughts on this?

Of the choices you have there, definately use Virtuous Affinity. But I'm currently using Endymion 3.5, & it is practically perfect. But with either, you can't go wrong. Also, my wife has beenvusing LeeDroid for months, & its great too. Most of the Sense 3.0 & 3.5 are very stable.

Android revolution. Just didnt feel like spelling it all out lol
Is there really any difference between all these though? Other than the RCMix3D tweaks? How does "Rev" () really vary from Affinity for example?
Also, I've been on Runny Xtreme v2 all day and I can't tell.. what exactly is new about Sense 3.5?
Android Revolution is a great ROM and so is Bindroid. Try both and see which one you prefer.
Which Revolution, though? Sense 3.5 or the stable Sense 3.0?

Ok, trying out Affinity for the next day and then I'll see where I stand. I wasn't crazy about the Revolution notes mentioning FCs on camcorder. I really have to have Camera and Camcorder working perfectly.
If you want everything to work "out of the box", try Bindroid first.

I would recommend Sense 3.0, everything works right out of the box. Another sweet thing ARHD has that not many others do is GPU UI Rendering. This results in noticeable performance improvements.

Would you say that maybe the last version of Unity would be the best?
And is there really NO 3.5 that has a perfectly working camera and camcorder? What other major problems are there? Sorry, I'm coming from another ROM so the commonly known issues of Sense 3.5 aren't something I'm familiar with.

Saranhai is right about ARHD having GPU UI Rendering both for the Sense 3.0 and Sense 3.5 versions, which does translate into snappier performance. What it comes down to is personal preference, and if video camera and camera function is important "out of the box", try the Sense 3.0 ARHD version and Bindroid with Sense 3.5. Good luck!
