[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bojan155:
I am on Nikez his Lente ICS ROM for a while now and I like the clean feel to it. It is very stable and reminds me the most of the Oxygen ROM I came from. Focus is on stability and not on a lot of useless features, you can add those yourself afterwards :D

Off course it can't beat a GB ROM yet, none of the ICS roms can until all issues are fixed, video recording is possible at 720p again etc. etc. But if you can live without video recording, the ICS ROMs deserve a lot of recognition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
You were repeating that sentence for the every rom from your signature. One has to watch over his credibility when roaming the forums.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudkcoce:
That's true and it's supposed to be that way. I was searching for the very best rom for our hardware and since I've extensively tried lots of them, I am trying to help others that don't have time to do so.

Sense ROMs have one big issue, and that's bad proximity sensor handling. I did a workaround with tasker, but it wasn't perfect. Then I tried MIUI XJ. Everything just works as it should and I have disabled about 5 of my tasker profiles because the rom offers most things an advanced user needs.

So, yes, now I think MIUI XJ is the very best rom for desire. And if someone can find a better one, I will try it, and yes, if I find it better, then I will change my mind again. What is wrong with that?

And why do you keep visiting the best rom threads if you don't like them? Either post some useful info or shut up. Your signature keeps reminding me of another guy that used to post things that didn't help anyone and you seem to like the guy and try to be the same, my suggestion is to maybe find another "idol"...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erklat:
Because you're twisting like a leaf on the wind. Each time you find another "best" rom (not to mention the periods you had "there's no such thing" rhetorics), your credibility goes down one notch. Bare that in mind it can be depleted.

How does one post something useful into something that shouldn't be found on any rational level we should talk on? I see a paradox there. And I'd find allies in the likes of Terepin anytime if I was given the opportunity again. He at least spoke what was on his mind. That is what counts. You on the other hand extinguish the fire of stupidity with oil while at the same time hoping it was helpful out of some feeling of false courtesy.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudkcoce:
Erklat, threads have titles for a reason. Why do you keep visiting the titles you dislike? Since you seem to consider yourself a logical human being, try to act in that manner. Please do not reply here, since we are off topic every time you post something. If you have something to say, pm me instead and I'll have a private conversation with you. Don't take this as an insult, since the last thing on my mind when I post something here is to insult someone. Peace.

Sandvold ICS :D

Also recently switched over to 4ext from CWM. Reformatted my SD card to properly align my partitions and everything feels much faster. Also Sandvold ICS 0.13 is the first release to incorporate some features from the Linaro tool chain which may partially explain some of the speed improvements. Battery is consumed faster than it was with CM7.2, but with the improvements in the latest Sandvold release they are probably now same responsiveness.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasabiiro:
LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5

I probably need to do the same as I was not impressed with CWM 4.0.1.4 (revolutionary) formatting capabilities.

I'm sorry for off-topic, but has anyone here upgraded SD card to a larger/faster one while preserving everything (ROM, apps, data)?

It appears to be not as straightforward as I originally thought. zulusik advised following:

"Restart into recovery and do a nandroid backup. From your recovery, mount your SD Card as USB drive. Copy all the contents to your PC. Power off the phone and insert your new card. Partition your new card before inserting into phone with gparted, or partition it via recovery (I'd recommend 4EXT recovery). From recovery, toggle the USB drive again, and copy the backup from PC to SD. Exit from USB drive mode, and restore your nandroid backup. Restart your phone."

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24207215#post24207215

But would like to double check with someone else if this is a correct way of doing it as there are some posts indicating that some people started having problems after upgrading SD card.

Does anyone see ICS ROM with Sense coming to Desire?

Please allow me to continue my off-topic about SD card upgrade.

Qizami, thank you for the prompt advice. In fact I tried doing pretty much the same before and faced problems. I wanted to replace 4Gb card with 8Gb one. So I made nandroid back-up with CWM, changed SD card,

booted into CWM, connected through USB to laptop with Gparted running (it recognised 7.5 Gb as available),

formatted new card as |fat32 (6.5Gb)|ext3 (1Gb)|,

but somehow Windows could not “see” the card after formatting.

Then I formatted SD card using CWM (ext 1Gb, swap 0). This didn’t help and in fact made situation worse: Gparted was not able to “see” the ext partition (1Gb). Windows was able to “see” 6.5 Gb and I copied nandroid backup folder there, but CWM was not able to see it.

Apparently something is wrong with the way I did formatting so I am considering to options now:

Buy microSD card reader and format card with Gparted directly rather then through USB connection

Use 4EXT for formatting

Any advice will be highly appreciated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qizami:
I used Gparted, and Windows for formating SD Card, had few problems with CWM. But I always used card reader.

See this:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Before you get (micro -) SD card reader, try with 4EXT recovery. If you already have SD card reader, try to find only adapter for micro sd cards. micro sd + adapter = SD card.

Windows, can't "see" second partition on SD card. Linux can.

MIUI v4 is worth to give it a try

I'm really happy user of MARANGE HTC DESIRE MIUI V4. Eye-candy design, really awesome tools for managing autostart apps and their permissions. One big change I've made was installing apex instead of MIUI home (but I'm going to give it another try - it's just other workflow that I'm not really used to).

It works for me much more stable and faster than Sandvold rom. So far I've noticed many situations when the old rom would reboot itself long time ago and MIUI was still doing its great job.

Also Nikez Lente (mentioned below) looks and feels very good. Works very stable and fast, but I miss few features from MIUI like permission manager, but I enjoy its stability and responsiveness.
