It's a good time to be a desire owner these days.

The roms just keeps popping out day after another.

Question is, which one is the fastest, most stable, best one?

I think a poll is in place.

Please only vote if you've actually tried them all.

ROM Links:

InsertCoin: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1016940

RCMix S: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988570

Ace/Vision S: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1018843

Also, if you found one not listed here, please elaborate.

And I think replying to this thread with your personal reviews of your favorite one with pro's and con's against the others would be appreciated too.

Happy flashing!
[Desire General] ziggy1001:
Tried 2 of them robo and Baadnewz v similar but TBH no video camera,no trackball wake then none of them is the ****

InsertCoin v1 was running very sweet for me but for some reason updated versions caused problems,probably my fault couldn't be bothered with a full wipe currently using RCMix Sv08 very happy with that apart from the 2 points mentioned above and the lack of a menu function to swap from 2G to 3G easily signal,GPS,battery life all great compass i think borked but i never use it
[Desire General] skippy68220:
I selected the rcmix S, because for now it's the only one I tested, and what I can say is that it is really fast for normal use. Compared to version rcmixHD

For other ROMs, they seem to be all good as each other. The developers follow the well updated and are listening to users. The user feedback at speed and bug are equivalent for all roms.

You guys did a great job! Thank you for all your work for our small desires.
[Desire General] Srkineo:
Camera is fixed in both, lag is fixed in insertcoint.

There are solutions for both roms to get the extra settings working in quick menu. (use search in thread)

There are solutions for both roms to get trackballwake(guides, search in threads).

-video rec. still down

-compas still down

anyhow, my 2 cents.. their both great! I picked insertcoin, not alot of difference between the 2 roms.. but in time that will change imo..

but for now, both very viable! havent tried ace & vision roms yet

In general I agree on:
[Desire General] ziggy1001:
Interesting i have home& menu wake working but not reliably, but didn't see any options for trackball, looks like i'll have to spend even more time searching XDA:o
[Desire General] robocik:
Yes, as you noticed there are almost no differences in our roms, what i can see when i diff the roms is that only thing changed is the ril and some apps removed from insertcoin... so i dont know what is causing lag in my rom :/ strange... should be the same... It can be the plurk which he removed and i still have in my rom (possible memory leak in that app), i will check that when i come back from my vacation, now i am working on A2SD version of v08.

have a nice day everyone ;)
[Desire General] baadnewz:
well i don't know where the lag appears, i changed the rils, modded init.rc, changed all wpa related files with the ones from gb leak in an effort to fix some wifi problems, i removed some files, fonts, and moved lib_s to /system/lib.

Problem with my roms later than v01 is flash player 10.2, problem that is also on my froyo roms. and i have no clue how to fix it, thou in robo's roms the problem doesnt exists, plurk i removed from v04 so users should tell if that did the trick or not.

And as mentioned before, robocik did the hard - porting - hacking part. without this we wouldn't have a sense 2.1 rom.

btw, anyone have a clue why compass is acting strange? not that i ever use it, but some users need it
[Desire General] coolexe:
Hmmm its too difficult to compare 3 roms...coz me n baadnewz using same base even features is 100% same...only difference between tweaking n optimization...

But my vote for RCmixS coz robo is the first person who port sense 2.1 Rom...

Sent From Nokia 3310...!!!
[Desire General] ziggy1001:
If you look at the SuperDuperAwesomeROM v0.3 by eddyOS isn't that 2.33 Gb with an earlier version of Sense but made for the Desire, not a port and people say compass doesn't work, so maybe HTC cockup?
[Desire General] robocik:
try to take my flash player and libs... uploading my A2SD rom, i have changed some flash stuff, we'll see if it helps for the users... have not tried it myself yet.

my users are reporting some calling issues, is that caused by the ril? i am using the one from the leaked rom... i think anyway ;) hehe dont remember anymore.

need to run now. A2SD+ is on the way up.
[Desire General] baadnewz:
if the compass problem is in the bravo leak then yes is a problem from HTC. But again the leak is a TEST Build so problems are expected.

i took them in v04 /lib/plugins but still nogo, will keep investigating but same as you I'm on vacation with my family. After Easter I'll have more time
[Desire General] gurpreet3579:
I think its leedroid 2.3.3
[Desire General] ciprigeorgiu:
read the thread question before posting ****! btw currently running insertcoin S v04, no problems at all, removed plurk and stocks, also thinking about removing peep but I don't know how will this affect the UI(friendswidget for example). Peep is also using a lot of memory.
[Desire General] baadnewz:
if u remove peep, friend stream will stll work but it will show only facebook updates
[Desire General] klefreak:
would like to vote for

RC-MIX

&

InsertCoin as both of them feel very good in allday work situation

gave my vote to I-Coin cause i used it longer but now im on RCmix V8 and think i will stay there (top)

thx to Robo for making new STUFF available for our/my Desire
[Desire General] nimrodity:
i couldnt find any way to get trackballwake on gb sense roms,i searched a lot.

Would someone plz be so nice to show where to get a flashable zip for it.
[Desire General] obyn:
Why don't you three musketeers join forces to focus on just one bad ass rom?
[Desire General] godutch:
I experienced slowdowns when I flashed the vorkmod of rcmix s 0.7, no slowdowns anymore after going back to the original rcmix s. I suspect it's some of these extra modules added (undervolt or a different governor)

btw my compass works quite well

Is anyone having problems with autobrightness (ie brightness suddenly going up and down again?)

oh my vote goes to robocik for now
[Desire General] 325i.:
On insertcoin, the WiFi randomly disconnects when the signal is low. Does this happen on other ROMs?
[Desire General] ciprigeorgiu:
the wi-fi problem on insertcoin seems to be fixed now. check you wi-fi sleep policy. but i seem to have a little problem. from the day i got my desire i used switchpro widget. i use it now also but now i can't make the flashlight work(the flash doesn't turn on). does anyone know a fix for this problem?
[Desire General] pinttas:
What about the ace/visions ?

Any experience?
[Desire General] andreya108:
I'm pretty happy with insertcoin v4.

the only bug i met is eventually happening notification about time zone.
[Desire General] andreya108:
I hope insertcoin will fix camcoder soon, since there are already 2.3.3 roms with full camera support. thanks to developers!))
[Desire General] tremblingwater:
Hey guys,

absolutely fantastic work, must say!

About the calling problem, it really is quite the problem as it takes away one of the main features haha.

But there is a temporary solution (perhaps you would like to post it on your main post) - that solution is to go in mobile settings and select GSM Only.

This lets you make outgoing calls but obviously stops you from getting 3G and above data connections.

At the moment, ive just been switching it back and forth depending on what i need to do.
[Desire General] ghostcat:
My favorite is insert coin. Very fast and stable. No problems at all exept one. Gps is going crazy sometimes. ;-)

I Have a HD2 on MIUI rom and whenever i lock the phone it turns off the phone.

Any ideas??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alltome:
try another rom i think its a bug in your rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emadul:
Hi

Ive tried many roms and im stuck :(

On my normal battery that came with my phone it seems to turn the phone off when its locked, however i brought a chinese extended battery (thinking it was the battery that was at fault) and with the extended battery when the power gets to about 60/70 it starts turning it off when its locked, but when the power is at above that its all fine but sometimes i get SoD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] alltome:
hmm.. try to put original battery in your device and reflash your rom.

otherwise i´ve senn that there are some roms which support your extended battery.

i think you can get the fix in the nand dev section.

sorry but i only have the original battery so i can´t help you anymore.

hope you get fixed it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emadul:
Ive tried flasing roms with my normal battery and it still doesnt work all i really want is for my normal battery to work with my phone properly and dont really mind fixing the sod on my extended battery.

Do you think my battery could be faulty? Also the bottom half of my phone heats up A LOT!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAJE5T1C:
Been reading around and the only thing i found on your problem was caused by flashing the galaxy tab with galaxy s software

It should restore in download mode using the right flash for your tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
same problem, any solution ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsumsallae:
What problem r u having? If u have the same problem with OP please provide more info like 2nd post..u could try overcome method to restock your tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
after i flashed my p1000 with GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip etc just like the tutorial, my phone just blank n the flash light automaticly on if i power it on or i plug the usb cable, but it doesn't connect with the odin, i already download GalaxyTabP1000-JQ1-One-Click ( heimal ) but same problem , it doesnt connect with the software, any solution? or the battery empty? i already remove the battery n charge it with desktop charger, but still same...
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
are you 100% sure you own a P1000 and not a P1000N or P1000L ?

was the Odin flash 100% successful

The symptom is exactly like a N/L version flashed with a P1000 firmware.

Edit: when you say flash light, it is the capacitive buttons or really the LED flash light near the rear camera?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
how can i make sure mine is p1000 not n / l , n if i flashed wrong firmware what is the solution?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Not sure how to check, the back of the device didn't say so? You need to find the right firmware, it is available on sammobiles website.

Hey, you said you remove the battery and charged it with desktop charger?

What kind of charger is that?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
nothing displayed on the backside of device , so, how can i know? then , what should i do?

yea.. desktop charger .. like this
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
The original is rated 2A.

Maybe you should charge your longer, 8hr or more, then try Odin again.

BTW, if L/N device flashed with P1000 you can still use its recovery.

So if Odin can detect, reflash the GB stock safe, make sure it is completed.

Then flash overcome kernel,

Then use its cwm recovery to flash cm for p1n.

You sure back bottom no marking?

Mine is T849 and it says so there.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsumsallae:
Model no. Should be bottom back of your tab..for me it gt-p1000..try what priyana said coz if it N/L model i cant help much maybe priyana can guide u better..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
yeah.. nothing displayed, okay,, i'll try it again, is the gb stock safe can be used for all type? ( L / N / P1000 )

btw, my tab is anycall , do u know which one is it?

model number? can we detect it with model no. ?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Never had experience with anycall. It is a Korean one, some has posted here before. Never seen any confirmation which one it most resembles.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagir88:
hey,, right now, the condition of my tab is the device connected with the computer, then i flashed with another stock firmware, then the tab still won't boot, but connect with the odin , any solution? or i try the method that using gb stock again?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephiroth225:
Hello guys, thanks for your support and excuse me for my english but i'm the same problem with my GT-P1000(i've seen it on the back of my tab !).

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdtvpower:
Now, that the Xoom will be released in Germany, will there be a chance to get US Wifi version localized with German language and apps? Or are there hardware differences to flash a German Wifi stock rom?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlcox:
I kept arguing with myself, if I should post this here or in the development forum, or what, so if a moderator feels the urge to move it, please do so.

Should end user speedtest via wifi tether (iPad) be somewhat similar to the results of 3g speedtest on the phone? I am trying to decide if I am getting in the neighborhood as what I should. I can be parked in the middle of a full bar signal area (I know, I know...the bars aren't fool proof, but all 4 at least means more than none or 1) and I only get about .9mbps on the phone and then about .7mbps on the iPad.

I'm using my Dinc (of course) and I'm running CM7 Final and the latest Incredikernal 2.6.37.6. I'm also using the wifi tether that's stock with CM7.

Thanks,

Roger

I've got the new market (I think -- curvy top graphic with the featured apps in a 3D scroll, is that what you mean by "new market"?). What bugs me, though, is that the "My Apps" button from my Nexus One has been replaced by a "T-Mobile" button, and I have to use the menu to get to the "My Apps" listing.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
I'm using FRX06 + WisTilt2's kernel + Highlandsun's RIL. It works well for two days long with edge network and mms receiving. But last night i call someone and it just reboot itself(a hot reboot with still calling sound on ...). After that mms things often went wrong and message client become easy to crash. And this afternoon it crash with all the sms disappear.

So i want to have a clean android againg. Just want to know what's the best practice of that? Reformat sd card and start with a new data.img plus Titanum Backup? Or can i just have something like back to factory settting? Or have a way to clean all cache or sth else?

Thanks~!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] fishingmedic:
Have you tried rebooting back to winmo and then run android again? If not I would start there rather than taking the drastic measure of rebuilding the whole build. If rebooting and letting it settle in doesn't do anything, I would try moving the data.img and let the system build a new one and see how that works, rather than just jumping in to reformat and rebuild. Start small and see if it works.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Tried reboot from wm, no lucky.

I will try to rebuild a img.

Any difference between a new data.img and a fresh system build? I thought both will lose my data..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Same thing really. All the userdata stuff is in the data.img, so if you rename it or delete it, you're basically starting over - minus any other 'updates' you might have done - IE, RIL, kernel, etc you mention in the first post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Got it.

I just worry about caches.

So i will start a mew data.img and restore from titanium backup.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
I use the following:

Titanium Backup

SMS Backup and Restore

Call Logs Backup and Restore

Sometimes if you adb into the phone you can often find out what's causing things to flake out - often it's a corrupt sqlite3 database. Unfortunately I have yet to successfully repair one of these. (There's generic instructions out there for repairing sqlite3 databases - they never seem to generate a usable repaired database for Android dbs.)

You can delete the offending database and it will be recreated, however you'll lose whatever was in it.

The Contacts database (which includes call logs in the same file...) seems especially prone to corruption (probably due to the call logs).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
So is it means that if i backup my sms and call logs, restore them after a new data.img, i will still have corrupt database?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wavesshock:
Try to backup all the folder from your sd. If sth goes wrong then you are able to restore everything. Make a frequent backup every week or so.

Edit : it is not a normal backup, but works great
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Nice advice. Thanks for that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] outbackvandy:
I downloaded Titanium Backup, but it doesn't seem to backup every application and setting. Am I doing it wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Batch.....?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
How do u backup with it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wavesshock:
You have to press menu, then you'll get a pop-up-menu with a filed called "batch" like arrrghhh said. Press that button and see what possibilities you get. You can choose to save all apps with data or just new apps. FSearch for "All Apps + User Data" or so and start batch. Wait till it's finished and there you go!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] xi.lin:
Thanks for your tutorial~ I used to click each app i want to backup.. a lot of works..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Yea, I'd imagine so. Batch features are kinda necessary - if you pay for it, the reinstating of the apps is much easier - you'll see what I mean if you have the free version, restoring apps is a little annoying, even with the batch features. But hey, for a free app it does do a great job.
