cm7 based roms are fast but some have adobe flash problem in that you can hear sound but there is no video.

That bugged my on CM7. There is a workaround Fix for it, but I'm too lazy to apply it.

I love Endymion.Currently onboard 3.1
[HTC Desire S] sotmax:
After many roms and currently endymion v3.4 i really like endymion v3.3

It s the most stable and advanced rom you ll ever use withmany feutures and tweaks to make your device fly ...
[HTC Desire S] D1g1tally:
Endymion is nice and good, but i have one problem with this rom! The problem is with call. Then the phone is locked and then someone calling to you and you answered with locked phone, you hear nothing and you must wait ~5s and then you can talk because after that you can hear each over. If phone is unlocked - everything is ok. I don't know this is bug or some settings... Please help me with that if anybody now this problem!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
That's the first time I've heard anyone report such an issue on Endymion (5 seconds?!!) I've been on Endymion since the first version was released, and to this date, i've had Endymion for the majority of my phone's life. I have never had the problem you describe. I recommend you do a full wipe and clean install and see if the issue persists...
[HTC Desire S] D1g1tally:
I used Saga3D v4 and with this ROM is everything ok. I don't know what the problem is...
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Have you tried a full wipe and fresh install? Try that, and please do not restore anything from Titanium backup initially. Setup the phone (basics) and try to see if the calling error still persists...
[HTC Desire S] JJeamy:
the best rom

anyone know what the best choice rom with sense 3.5 for improving fastest n battery live??.. sorry n thanks b4.. :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
IMO, all Sense 3.5 ROMs offer more or less the same performance and battery life.

Just each one has different tweaks etc.
[HTC Desire S] JJeamy:
thanks a lot for you'r advise..coz i'm little confusing about choice's for the first time i try want to use a custom rom after S-OFF my desire s..for filled comfort in every day use for me..now maybe i will try see IMO rom first..:)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Sorry mate, but I think you misunderstood me :)

IMO = In My opinion. Some quick abbreviation I used there.

My point is, all Sense 3.5 ROMs offer the same battery and performance in My opinion. However they have unique features about them,such as tweaks etc.

I suggest trying them all out yourself and seeing which one you like best
[HTC Desire S] JJeamy:
:ooppzz..sorry..i'm missunderstood ..coz..i try search that rom..but..nothing..hahaha:D.."IMO"=In My Opinion..sorry my bad english:o language..aniway previous i try a Virtous Affinity is to lot consuming my battery n not good for signal to..although i've try flashed new Radio yet to ver. 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M, how about Endymion 3.4..coz i'm already downloaded..n want try it first..anyway thx..
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
I have tried almost every ROM: MIUI, CM7, CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, Reaper... and from all of them I use Virtuous Quattro. Before a "perfect" installation with full wipes and so, its stable, fast, smooth... the only thing against is the poor app compatibility because of ICS, but from all the rest is, for me, the best, and also for daily use.
[HTC Desire S] JJeamy:
always watching Virtuous Quattro to, n still waiting for final release..i hope not to long..:)
[HTC Desire S] microlah:
I am on Virtuous Quattro RC4, one thing you have to watch out for is the battery drain. After about 3 hours of moderate use, the battery was on 60% already :confused:.

Hopefully the guys will fix it in the final release.
[HTC Desire S] Forwox:
Make a poll, make a poll! :)

By that new users will find their way to best ROM for them.
[HTC Desire S] skomik:
Hard choice, but i think Reaper V2 is absolutely the best Gingerbread ROM I've ever used. As for ICS ROM, Virtuous Quattro RC3 is definitely best(for now). ;)
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
Sure 'bout that? I had the same problem, then recalibrating the battery stats makes sense, here is what I did:

1) Phone on, charge it to 100%

2) Without unplugg it, shut it down

(The green led will shut down and in a few seconds will light up orange)

3) Wait till its green again

4) Boot immediately into recovery and wipe battery stats, and from recovery shut it down again

(still dont unplugg it)

5) Wait again untill it ligths up green

6) Turn on the phone normally

(now you can unplugg it)

For me those steps makes my battery last longer. Also I changed the CPU governor to interactive. With mid use (Opera mobile, games, calls, whatsapp, emails, youtube...) I arrive home with 15% battery every day.

Give it a try :)
[HTC Desire S] mziel:
Pool - ok.

But I think users should start with some custom ROM (maybe based on the pool result), test it, skip to next custom, test it, compare it etc. It shouldn't be this way: "I'm using xyz ROM because pool says it's the best".

I tried rooted stock, MIUI, Virutous and Endymion. The last one is my favorite - why? Sense 3.5, faster than other (ofc. in my opinion), clean (not to many unused software :) ).
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
That battery stats myth has already been busted.. Just search the forums, I'm too lazy to search the link right now.

I'm sure you could do everything you explained without wiping batt stats and you'll get the same result.

But anyways I think full charging the phone when turned on and turned off might give better batt life... (?)
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
@eyahl I've read that busting, but I did it anyways and I saw a improvement of the bl, maybe its just my impression... my apologies.
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
No Problem ;-)

Just wanted to clear that because some ppl think it gives a proofed improvement.

2topic:

I'm using endymion 3.4 and it's perfect for me. Very fast, clean sense and always good battery life
[HTC Desire S] unix72:
I'm happy with Endy 3.4 :)
[HTC Desire S] cpx07:
Top 3 for me :

1. Reaper ROM v2.0 (the fastest rom ever tried, strong customization also very stable and great support from dev)

2. Endymion v3.4

3. RCmix 3D v.4

I have also tried: Virtuous Unity-Affinity-Quattro, CM7.2, CM 9, BlackIce.
[HTC Desire S] ondrograf:
I was a happy user of the stock Sense ROM. Then I tried the magic of custom ROMs and that's when it started. First I flashed CM7, very good rom, but I had big GPS issues and I also never experienced the smoothness and speed of that rom despite a lot of tweaks. So I changed to some runny sense rom found in ROM manager which was pretty fast and stable IMO. I also tried endymonion and virtuous sense roms but sense started to bug me more and more. At that point I switched to MIUI (us version) and to this point for me it is the best rom. You have to get used to other GUI, more like iPhone, but the overall performance was the best I've experienced on my Desire S. Lot of built-in features, you can change a lot of things there. It's a completely different user experience. Now I'm testing the virtuous quattro and I must say that it is a great rom so far. I hope it will be more and more better.
[HTC Desire S] mayurh:
Guys which rom from all the suggestions is fully functional and not many bugs

Anyone using miui from miuiandroid?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I think all sense 3.5 and sense 3.0 roms as well as aosp like cm can be called "fully functional"

Even aosp ics roms are getting closer and closer to "fully functional"

I tried miui and didn't like the iPhone feeling
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Ooops this post is not here :-)
[HTC Desire S] Jamvanderham:
For me it has to be Reaper 2.0. So quick its unbelievable. Battery life is brilliant as well. Its the only ROM I'd give up Sense for. Thanks Lowveld
[HTC Desire S] FrikandelChris:
I'm on Endymion and im very satisfied with it, but I never tried something different... maybe i'll flash Reaper Rom, beacuse i just heard good things about it. Is it possible to sync the profile pictures of Facebook with your contacts?

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] Rostwildch:
Guys I've counted the times that each rom has been recommended and up to this post, Endymion is the "winner". I havent tested it so I will give it a try until the official release of ICS rom from HTC.
[HTC Desire S] XKanoX:
well it all goes down to you, if you want performance cyanogen is the way to go, and if you like the iphone-y style and feel you can go with miui, and there are the sense roms such as the endymion and virtuos and others if u fell in love with the stock rom that is... so take a look at a couple video previews and benchmarks then decide:)...but if you ask i'm a cyanogen guy

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] probbiethe1:
I tried your files and they dont do anything for me. I use 7zip to unzip the files and then double click froyo and it opens virtual box but then doesnt do anything else
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AbsolutZeroGI:
step 06: check the network settings to make sure they're correct

then double click froyo in virtual box and it should boot up in a new window. check out the video at the ACS site if you have more trouble. I do the whole process from start to finish on it.

Am I missing something? Can't you join a Huddle from a G+ browser window?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] probbiethe1:
I must have been confusing. I double click froyo and all it does is open virtual box it doesnt set anything up or create a new virtual machine so i cant even get to step 6. So maybe i should say it does nothing at all.

My workaround,

Install bluestacks.

Check this thread on how to get rightclick to install apk's into bluestsacks.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1298332

Check the same thread on how to get rid of Full screen on Bluestacks.

Only install Google Service Framework, setup wizard, market & Google+ after you have installed a good Homelauncher, also from the same thread.

(onetime initializer is annyoing)

Beware that there will be a notification about Google+ that you might not see in the notification bar.

Pronto Google+ on your desktop. Not checked voice & sound yet as I just did it after reading this thread.

Nope, if it were that simple then Shabbypenguin and I wouldn't have had to make this.

We tried a number of different ways including the browser. You can talk via gTalk in the browser but not the Huddle

I'll add this to the OP as an alternative :) thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PoorCollegeGuy:
I've used the OP's method and it's currently working flawlessly.

probbiethe1...i don't understand why it won't work for you. did you get virtual box and not vmware (i don't think you can use either, i think it's gotta be Virtual box) and what operating system are you running?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mcmb03:
this is awesome bro. thanks for your time and effort for this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AbsolutZeroGI:
It was our pleasure. I'm sure Google+ will make a Huddle/Messenger for desktop (or at least a web browser) eventually, but hell why wait?

Sorry about the thread necro (of sorts)...

I think this is brilliant... however, I just tried setting this up and for some reason it won't let me log into my Google account (says wrong username/password)... rest assured, I know I'm using the right login information. Anyone know if something has changed?

Thanks!

PS I should add, the network otherwise appears to work fine e.g. I can log into Google via the virtual Android browser just fine.

Sorry GSM Nexus S owners.... I pulled that package together late last night, long after I should of called it a night... I goofed and left the stock SystemUI.apk in place.... Thats what I get for completing the NS4G build then doing 2 ports of it afterward in the same night.. LMAO... ops :p

Zigg has updated the OP with the new updated package for you....

Any problems, please post screen shots so we can troubleshoot.. Most of the stock cyan should be removed when this theme is applied as you can see from the screen shots in the OP on the NS4G version.

Thanks everyone.

Paul.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ZiggSVO:
No if your using the T-Mobile version you need to go to the android dev section and get that version for your device
