[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Which ROM did you most like up till now?

Personaly, so far I have to say I liked LeeDroid Mod and Cyanogen. If I had to choose I would be hard pressed. But despite that I am still stuck on a Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo).

For me, I love the purity and simplicity of a non-sense ui. Hence my passion for Cyanogen (amongst the non-sense mods). But I must confess that I miss Friendstream, and clock / weather widget and animations, and also the HTC calendar. This brings me back to LeeDroid. If I were somehow able to get these 3 things on a Cyanogen Mod, I'd be in trouble because then I'd have to choose one of them :) !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Neophyte

I like Sense. It's the only phone skin I've come across that I think adds something to the phone UI.

I've tried Dj Droid and Leedroid, and all the Neophyte ROMs. I've stuck with the latter as they're really quick, seem totally stable and basically I can't find anything wrong with them!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
I think there are 2 NeoPhyTe ROMs out there, right? NexTSense and NeoPhyTe ROM. Which one do you prefer?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bembelembe:
I'm confused between so many ROMs and so many changes. What I want is one rooted but first of all STABLE (without any bugs) ROM. I don't need nothing special added or removed from official one.

If someone can suggest the one - I would be thankfull.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmetek:
Me too which one, and especially how to ROOT for lamers like us?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pitbull_Raven:
Please note this isn't a poll to figure out which ROM is king! No, it's just intended to give us a sense of what's going on in the community and what people like and are looking for so that hopefully, new developers can take that info and use it, either tweaking their existing ROM, or making new ones based on the ones people most like, or even creating something that is 180º different and goes in another direction.

Same as above for the first part of your post. Check "unrevoked" for the rest.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistaJae:
I've always had Modaco roms for my Android handsets (T-Mobile Pulse, HTC Hero & then Desire). They have always been extremely stable. For a close-to-stock 2.1 Sense (Eclair) ROM, Modaco r3.1 was the best for me!

I tried LeeDroid Mod 1.3a (to try out Froyo) and haven't looked back. I've decided not to update to any of the other versions (1.5, 1.6, 1.7 etc) as everything works perfectly for me!

Unless there's a significant reason to update (specifically battery life), then I'm staying on LeeDroid 1.3a.

I have tried a lot of them and now I´m using Defrost 2.5a, I know it´s not based on 2.09 Froyo but I want to try and leave Sense Ui once and for all.

Qudrant just got me 1441 and Linpack around 39-40 all the time.

I´m gonna install that Launcher Pro Plus and Beautiful Widgets for the weather and such.

If I wanted to go back to Sense, I would choose my fellow spaniard Neophyte´s 1.4a or 2.1b (both rock).

Sorry about that guys. I'll try to make it a bit more encompassing next time and add a few more. In the meantime please vothe "other".

Me on the other hand, I am trying to get away from Sense UI myself but I keep coming back for the very cool weather animations. I'm a sucker for eye candy. Also admit that I like the commodity that Friend Stream brings, as I do also like the flick through mails and messages widget. Idk, I just think HTC put a lot of effort into it and actually made a good UI. It's a shame I can't find suitable alternatives at least as good as the Sense ones, or I'd go pure Android as well.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drefsab:
To be honest most of the roms basically seam identical lately, the only things that seam to separate them apart is a few addon's that I care very little about. As such I've gone with Pay's rom as its the best looking one (because of his framework). God know i hated the ugly stock framework icons.

Right now we have 352 participations in this Poll. The results were (to me) a bit surprising. I don't think there will be many more participants in this thread. Maybe I'll try to put up another one in a month or so, just so that we can compare. And when I do I'd like to include as many ROMS as I can.

Also I noticed that many people voted on the ROMS they currently had installed and not exactly the ones they preferred.

But anyway, it's always interesting to see what the "collective hive mind" is thinking :D

Currently using the Modaco Stock Rom. So far so good but i'm new to custom rom stuffs, planning to flash a custom one but undecided between Neophyte or LeeDroid. I need one thats fast and have longer battery. Hope someone can give some opinion...:D

I've sent mine in 3 times I think. The last time, they sent me a new X1. Pretty sweet. But I think the reason they sent the new one was because the problem was not one they can fix (volume button stopped working).

Actually, I was off warranty, but used by credit card warranty that extends the manufacturer warranty by a year. Good to keep in mind, eh?

FYI, if you are in the EU and you bought your phone in the EU then you are protected by consumer laws.

UK version -> http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2002/3045/contents/made (long read)

Basically: If the device has been sent in 3 times for the same issue you are entitled to a new device on the 4th time, period. It's the law!

Also, if a device does not perform as stated on the box or has a significant manufacturer defect, again you are entitled to a new device or an exchange for something else or even your money back. This depends on your retailer.

How do I know it's true? Well my X1 had been sent in numerous times and after some references to the law my retailer agreed to send me an X2 if I paid the minor difference in price between the two. Well we all know how abysmal the X2 was software wise. SE agreed with me that I should return it and get a full refund or an exchange. My retailer was not so cooperative. In the end SE returned my X2 and sent me a new X10 straight across. I am very happy with the X10 :D You also get a new 2 year warranty with the new device.

Hi!

I've sent my Xperia 3 times.. First time, because screen went black when sliding the keyboard. When I received after 2 weeks, I realized, new screen had a flaw. The backlight was visible on the screen itself(it was very easy to see when the background was black: for example, when turning on the device). It was placed in upper right corner. So I sent the device again for a repair. And after 5(!) weeks, I've been told that every part of my device was replaced. And when I turned it on it showed the same flaw on the screen! But now both upper corners of the screen had that issue. So I wrote a complaint to Sony Ericsson. After a month(!) I received a reply, they told me to send my xperia to another repair point. So I did. After long few weeks, my device returned. With the same screen flaw. Oh God I hate them...

About the flaw: It looks like the screen is pressed by the front panel.

My warranty ends by November I think. I can't go to retailer, because xperia was bought by previous owner in France and I'm really tired of those 'repairs'. Every repair takes between 2 weeks and 1.5 month.

Maybe they don't see it as a flaw? Well, screen has a unequal backlight, for me it's a flaw.. What do you suggest? Send the device for the repair again?

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mikeacela:
Lately I've been using the latest CM6 test 8 Rom and have encountered a few problems. The kernel Koush is using is a pretty fast one with minimal power usage but I believe this has also contributed to overheating. While on other stock or stable roms this rarely occurs de my phone, but now when my phone is even idle, the overall heat radiating from it is not usual. Is anyone else having these issues? I must give Koush props for the camera fix, it is nice work for a test rom and I look forward to an upcoming camera fix. I have also noticed that on this Rom that I can not install certain apps. I have cleared my market cache and have done all I can think of to install the apps successfully. I have also noticed using the track pad to wake the phone is spotty. To me this is expected, for some reason even using this feature on other roms or lock screens is spotty too. I find that holding the track pad down for 5 seconds seems to wake the phone when the feature is enabled. I was also wondering about the notifications. Is it possible to get this feature available? Although this is a pre release, I admire the coding and work Koush did to get this Rom up when the people wanted it.

So I did a bad thing, in my ultimate conquest to remove things I didnt need/want/care for, I deleted the default messaging app as I use handcent.

Here is the issue:

Now since this is my first android phone I dont know if this is standard across all overlays or just touchwiz, but in the phone/contacts app, when you touch someones picture, it opens up a popup of all the ways you can contact someone.

Before it showed messaging, and when I hit it I could use handcent as the default. Now nothing is there. I have the same issue with the launcher pro People widget.

Am I screwed and its time to restore (again ><) Any way to get this functionality back?
[Captivate General] sn1per420:
You could try grabbing the messaging app's .apk from a rooted stock system backup (I think there's one in the Captivate dev forum), and then sideloading it onto the device to see if it fixes your problem. You can sideload using the Sideload Wonder Machine (just google it, it's the easiest way I've found to sideload apps so far).

How would anyone know what version of the software his phone had when he purchased it? I, for instance, knew nothing of the "rooting world" when I got my unbranded unlocked desire, so now, after the OTA upgrade, I don't think I can retrieve that information: am I correct?

In order to absorb information, someone has to give it to you. The process is long (for some longer maybe), but I'm sure you were a n00b once and I hope nobody treated you this way.
