Is there any way you could link me to this version plesae? I don't know what the nlooo version is, but from seeing the cm7.2.0.1 on the cm website, it seems it also has a lot of bugs?

Sorry that would be too much of a bug for me with data, which I rely heavily on for synching everything for business. Thanks for the suggestion. CM10, I guess that's Jellybean or ICS? Probably too unstable for desire?

Nlooooo version is the one in my signature... :D

I use cm9 spazedog it works without bugs .. also my data is never turnt off
[Desire General] k3lcior:
2.x is Gingerbread

3.x is Honeycomb

4.0 is ICS

4.1 is Jelly Bean

I suggest to stick with 1 of the GB ROM's.
[Desire General] cormie:
Is there any stability advantages of the nloooo version over the regular 7.2, or is it just it has the experia theme? Hard to understand all the different options. And what about the spazedog, that's ICS, right?

I think I should probably stick with the gingerbread, which MildWild is running, so I think I'll give MildWild a chance as I heard good things about it and hope it doesn't cause me pain!
[Desire General] erklat:
ICS and stable/reliable don't mix together.

So I'd politely ask for drool party to stop. Op stated his requirements and 4.0 doesn't fit in if you walked on your eyebrows.
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks for the bluntness erklat, I guess I can forget about 4.0 and just concentrate on gingerbread. Hopefully I don't run into any bugs with mildwild, fingers crossed!
[Desire General] cormie:
Hi, I installed MildWild 5.0 and the clock isn't updating , this is enough to make me think it's buggy so considering just going with 4.3 and being done with it.

The only version of 4.3 I can see is V, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1353861

that's based on Oxegen but apparantly there's another not based on Oxegen, any idea which is better and where to get the non Oxegen based one?

Been using mildwild5 with absolutely no problems for a week or so... definitely one of the fastest roms i've tried for my desire... despite all the comments I still havent seen any bugs.
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks, that's only showing the Oxygen based 4.3 too, maybe that is the only 4.3 version? How would Oxygen compare to CM7 I wondeR?

Im running BCM RC4.1 Update 2 with shaky kernel, and nova launcher , and i have 50 % battery for 2 days 11 h 20 min, i will upload screenshot with 10 % battery and i think that will be for 3 days ;)

And 3 days on battery i didnt have on any GB rom, with cm7 and manu i have 2 days max ...
[Desire General] MidnightDevil:
Well.. CM is based on AOSP with some neat features.. oxygen is aosp without those neaty features.. IMHO CM can be really fast, not as oxygen, but thats a small price u pay for the extra performance without the extra stuff.. however there ain't much difference... go for cyanogen, give it a go, if you're not happy with it, try the oxygen based version. Personally I stick with 5 cm based, no issues here. AT ALL.
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks for that. I've installed v4.3 (oxygen) and everything seems ok, it seems fast, but 2 issues so far is that using widgetsoid, I can't turn the flashlight directly on via zeamlauncher and can't turn the gps on either. Both work fine on the phone, just not from the widget for some reason?
[Desire General] panpjp:
Solution for OP: grab a One X or SGSIII or other high-end goodies.
[Desire General] stankyou:
Read Widgetsoid's description on the playstore. At the very bottom you'll see its states you can have problems enabling gps via the widget. Its been like that since forever. Lol

via xda app
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks folks, have been setting up v4.3 mildwild tonight and think I'm pretty happy with it. Along with zeam launcher, it's extremely fast with very little lag compared to what I'd been using the last year or so.

Instead of having the flashlight shortcut in the power control with widgetsoid, I have it in the notification bar instead. I'll settle on the GPS option screen opening up too.

The only other gripe with it is that I used to have a pin code from the lock screen and with my old rom, once you entered the correct code, it unlocked straight away with no need to press ok, With MildWild it seems you have to press ok, doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're unlocking your phone a million times a day it is :)
[Desire General] Doublewise:
Have you tried miui gb Rom? It base on aosp with many mod. And quite fast too.
[Desire General] raha0007:
Id recommend miui gingerbread too, with miui xj from here you have an a2sd script running from the start.

Also maranges miui v4 which is a little more experimental but its android4.

SpazeDog comes in two Versions. One ICS and one JB.

The ICS version is very stable!

I'm using BCM which is very stable, too (SpazeDog is the new BCM).

I am right now using Elk759's Jelly Bean for my Desire. Seems quite stable for me!
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks again for the further suggestions everyone but I'm quite happy with MildWild v4.3 so far and will probably stick with it unless a load of bugs come out of the floorboards of it ;)

It's missing a few tiny features I'd like but not enough of a problem to go messing about with more roms when this one seems very stable and is performing VERY fast :)

This is a business phone so I need it as good as possible and can't be messing around with new Roms every day :P
[Desire General] paolo-red1:
Define quite stable please

Something like quite around, behind something, somewhere...

Sandvoid 0.18.1 is best for me. After some retry with different options in the installation. I got every thing running very smooth (except video recording) with 1G+ of internal mem to used.
[Desire General] cormie:
Once I see any kind of bug, I'm thrown off immediately. I've had to put up with an array of bugs over the ownership of the phone and just want a bug free device. MildWild 4.3 is that device so far, sandvold may have some very dangerous bug, which I'm assuming wiped my phone back to basic rom.
[Desire General] rajeshk84:
I have tried many ROMs since I rooted my desire. My feedback -

ELK JB - Quite Stable. A few things not working and a little slow sometime. (RAM usage at 80%+ most of the time)

Nikez JB - Stable (Would have preferred ELK JB)

SpazeDog JB - Not updated since sometime. However, it was fine and stable.

Mokee OS (GB) - Stable & Fast. All things working. Used it for sometime but then switched because of the Dialer (T9 suggestions would come a few seconds later, not instantly)

MildWild 5 - Stable, Fast. (Don't remember why I switched from this)

MildWild 4.3 - Stable, Fast. Currently using it. (Flashed today only)

SandVold ICS - Used one earlier version. Flashing the latest one now. Will check it for speed and reliability. Might move back to MildWild 4.3...
[Desire General] erklat:
I'm seriously contemplating putting people who claim JB is stable on ignore list.
[Desire General] rajeshk84:
For me an Stable ROM is the one which can run without any reboot or FC for a period of more than 10 days. I have tried the ROMs for those many number of days and faced no issues except a little slag.

I agree when you say one should look at only GB for a daily ROM. But what is the harm in trying out others??
[Desire General] erklat:
The harm is in constantly advertising it as stable to other users.
[Desire General] cormie:
Wow, I think you might have a problem :p

Why do you put so many roms on?
[Desire General] MidnightDevil:
Yeah... and there are addicted users here that take all those hits in one single day... imagine that.

I've tried ICS also (BCM), didn't find it that stable.

Hardware buttons didn't work properly, CPU usage went up and battery life went down - especially using WiFi. Youtube didn't work. Sometimes the phone just rebooted.

Now I'm on MildWild 5.0, I like it so far - only 2 days in :)

In MildWild had a few problems with syncing, solved that with flashing google apps from cyanogenmod wiki.

S2E seems to cause the phone not to boot; it just showed the HTC logo after a reboot. Flashing mounts2sd solved that issue.

It would be nice to have some of the stuff from ICS backported, like the lockscreen. Overall ICS is a bit more polished UI wise but not really worth the trouble on the Desire.
[Desire General] biron_w:
I've been using Elk's latest JB rom since it was released and I haven't had any problems with it. Usually with an ICS/JB rom there's some sort of annoying bug but I haven't encountered any yet.

If you want a super stable ROM then i'd recommend Nick's Phone. Based on Oxygen and it's super quick.
[Desire General] ToastnButter:
I concur, Nick's Phone is brilliant
[Desire General] cormie:
Who is Nick and what phone does he own? :P

No problems yet with MildWild 4.3 so can't imagine changing unless I run into something drastic, but thanks for the suggestions :)
[Desire General] 5nak3:
If you are still after Nick's Phone rom you can get it here.
[Desire General] cormie:
Thanks, mildwild still gong strong though so I don't think I'll switch at all :)
[Desire General] danjoe28:
Hi, haha, just want to say that many of us here are addicted to flashing ROMS. Anyway, i think stability will depend on your preferences and needs with the desire so if you like Mildwild, just stick with it. All ROMS, including stock ones have their own individual issues and needs for improvement anyways :D
[Desire General] pdminty:
yeap, you all right

i use JB 4.1 custom rom by Elk759

i like this rom and it fully suits me because i don't use camera and FM

although mobile internet works not fine, it doesn't stop me to use the rom for everyday
[Desire General] nlooooo:
I don't use camera, fm, mobile data, wifi, it sometimes reboots, no need for usb tethering, screen lags a little bit, sometimes glitches, video playback works, sometimes...

So you can say you use your phone?

I don't think so...
[Desire General] chico1620:
Mildwild 5.0 is by far the most stable GB rom. You wont miss munch on ics since it uses most of the appereance of ics. Great rom indeed.
[Desire General] Robi959:
Today i switched to stock Oxygen 2.3.2 without andy modifications, just lastest r4 kernel. Tryed many roms but this i perfect no FC and no laggs. My God many roms and cost me my nerves ! Finaly good rom.. i suggest everywone to use that rom :)
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
I think you should refrain from suggesting a rom after using it for just one day. :-\
[Desire General] Robi959:
51 hours without restart still going like first day ;) Oxygen stock is very reliable rom, tested and bug free..

You might want to check Nick's Rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30270012

It is based on Oxygen but customized with holo launcher and ICS theme. I used Oxygen for 1 year and this was the 1st custom ROM that offered the same stability + some nice extras
[Desire General] cormie:
I think mildwild 4.3 is oxygen too as far as I'm aware, it's running fine anyway so I'll be sticking with it for now unless I run into any problems, but it's been going good for over a week now.
[Desire General] stormwyrm:
I've been using Nikez Lente 1.0.1b2 (Android 4.0.4) on my Desire for a few months now and it is so far stable and solid, and the only thing I've found that doesn't work right is WiFi tethering, which isn't a big deal for me because I'd rather use a Huawei mobile WiFi for those times when I need to share Internet access among the several devices I carry. Camera works just fine for me, though there have been reports otherwise. and my phone is more rock solid and stable than any other ROM I've used before it. It has hung on me a couple of times, but no more than previous ROMs I've used on it. I won't touch the Jellybean Nikez Lente releases just yet though, but look forward to them with interest.
[Desire General] janko:):
I'm using nikez jb rom version p10 and it's awesome. Camera snaps pictures with no problems, but the preview doesn't work. And besides that I only found one problem with using a browser different than the stock one. There might be other problems but I didn't experienced any. So you should try nikez rom if you asked me.
[Desire General] cormie:
Still no problems with mildwild 4.3 so I think I'll be sticking with it :)
[Desire General] spile:
I find CM 7.2 very stable on my Desire and I use my phone for business and personal use.
[Desire General] cormie:
Sad to report that I've had a few unknown power off's with the phone. It just seems to randomly turn itself off sometimes. Seems to happen only when in my pocket and I may be moving a lot, then when I'd go to my pocket I'd realise the phone has been off for who knows how long, or who knows who was trying to call me.
[Desire General] dvsk69:
Does it switch on using the power button or do you have to pull out the battery and restart?

If its the latter, its the bsod issue. Try flashing a different kernel.
[Desire General] cormie:
After it turns itself off, yeah a simple press of the power button will turn it back on so I don't think it's the issue you're referring to. It happened with the older ROM I used too, but it's happening with my friends desire which I flashed MildWild on also..
[Desire General] wild_oscar:
I haven't found a decent 4.x rom either. Not being able to record video or even wifi tethering are really interesting features I'm not willing to give up on and all current efforts are alpha or beta.
[Desire General] Ragey:
Hi Guys,

I've been lurking on this thread for a few weeks.

My wife's Desire was constantly running out of space and it was really bugging her so I've done the S-off via revolutionary, rooted it and added an external 1gb ext4 partition on her sd card.

We've tried out 3 roms so far, with the emphasis being on daily use I also had to take in consideration the layout of the rom as straying to far from the look and feel of stock would mean she wouldn't be able to find stuff so wouldn't like it.

SUPERNOVA Xtreme Official GB > Used this rom for over a week and it was very useable but had slight problem as occasionally the phone would re-boot for no apparent reason this was very rare but enough to make us try another rom.

RUNNYCRUX RSK TEAM ★ with AMAZE CAM > This was a really nice rom very fast and made the phone seem better than it ever was before. There was however a problem with the fm radio not playing sound through the headphones which was a shame because other than that it was perfect.

RunnyMede AIO 6.1.1 > Currently using this rom and so far so good not found a reason to change as yet, its also very fast and has given the phone a new lease of life.

Having read this thread it looks like we may be trying out a few more roms as we kinda got the flashing bug its been fun trying out new stuff and I can see why its appealing to the community here.

I've just realised Im off topic as the roms I tried arent 4.0 oops thanks for making the thread cormie I'll leave my post here on the off chance someone else is new and looking for stable roms hope thats ok. I think we'll be trying mildwild and niks phone out after reading the advice in your thread. :good:
[Desire General] cormie:
nice post Ragey, I think this thread has highlighted that there's not really any 4.0 roms stable enough for daily use and developed more into a general what's the overall best rom for daily use for the desire.

I've experienced the random shut down problem too, both on previous roms I've used and now unfortunately on mildwild too. It only ever seems to happen when I'm out and about with the phone in my pocket, never happens when it's just sitting up on a table. It's not enough of an issue for me to try out new roms though as everything else with Mildwild is working pretty well.

[Desire General] simon12:
Having a look at various roms for my very first flas and I have the same concerns as the OP. MildWild 5.0 mseems to be the best for stability v looks (ICS style screens, etc) which appears to be pretty stable. So my question is:

I have loaded Links2SD on my now rooted Froyo Desire and it seems to be doing a great job. I've gone from 15mb to over 60mb of internal space. The rom I am looking at supports a2sd. Does this normally mean it does it as part of the rom or do I still need a third-party app like L2SD? If it's part of the rom, will it put them on the ext3 partition (otherwise I guess I have answered my own question).
[Desire General] AD093:
Hey simon12,

Yes if a Rom has a2sd built in then it should put them on the ext partition automatically, you just have to make sure that the Rom supports ext3, most Roms support ext2, 3 or 4, but some specify.

Also don't be so sure about mildwild 5 being the most stable, I had stability issues with it, but most people are fine, every desire is different, and you have to find a Rom that suits you, I suggest titainium backup and sms backup. Then try out different roms until you settle, I'm now on runnymede AIO, (sence 3.5) and it is very smooth and stable, but CM7, which everyone says is the best kept crashing on my phone and then failing to boot.

Hope that helped,

Andy
[Desire General] k3lcior:
You must be really talented then. :good:
[Desire General] simon12:
Interesting. So, if it supports a2sd built in, will the link between apps and L2sd be automatically replaced by the rom's own way of moving the apps? I guess that because I have to wipe everything before I load the new rom, anything I have setup with L2sd will be reset anyway.
[Desire General] AD093:
When flashing a new Rom you have you perform a full wipe, so you will be starting with a clean slate anyway, when the apps are installed they will automatically link to the sd card, no need for link2sd at all, and apart from the internal memory not going down as quickly then it won't be that obvious that the apps are on the ext partiton

---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 AM ----------

Hey k3lcior, sorry, I don't understand what you mean, I was just saying that all the CM7 Roms I have tried have had the same problem, after about a day running the Rom it will usually crash and then not boot again, roms that have done this to me are:

Cyanogenmod 7.2 stable

Mildwild 5

Cronmod
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Then you did something wrong. What did you use to partition your sd-card?

Or maybe an app is causing the crashes. Try installing CM , and don't install anything for a day.
[Desire General] AD093:
It's always possible that I did something wrong,

I used minitool on my windows pc to partition the sd card, (14.7GB fat32, 1GB ext4) in micro sd card reader, not the phone. I have all the same apps on my runnymede Rom and the ics roms I tried and they seemed ok. I use my phone as an everyday phone, but I will test a bit more when I have a new phone sorted
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
There's a big chance that minitool didn't work properly, or something got damaged during the rom flashing process. Try repartitioning your sd-card either with 4 ext recovery or Gparted.
