[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
I want to try to determine what is the best rom 2.09 Froyo - based for HTC Desire.

In the last week I've tried a large number of ROMs. I've really liked 2 of these:

- Roufianos V6 (It's the one that I'm using at the moment)

- OpenDesire 3.0.4 (I know that the 3.0.5 is out but I haven't tried it yet)

Obviously there are many other excellent rom but I haven't got the time to try them, such as:

- Alex V1.1 official OTA cooked by Paul from MoDaCo (I've not tried it yet but I thing it is good)

- Lambros Custom Rom r3.1 --- I've tried it: in my opinion it's the best. Very fast, stable, no problem, no crashes. The chef always helps you and give you what you ask him! Fantastic! (link hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745447 )

- Pays-ROM

- Others....

Well, I don't know what is better.... can you help me choosing a ROM please?

If you thing that there are better ROMs instead of the ones that I've written, please tell me about them.

Thanks to all.

GiO

IMO this comes down to the "SENSE UI",

you wanna have SENSE and all the HTC bells and whistles? LeeDroid 1.8 or Neophyte NextSense 4.0

you don´t give a damn about SENSE (like me)? OpenDesire 3.0.5 is just AWESOME.

Both options are really good but it´s a question of personal preference I think.

I don't know if is necessary for me... I don't really like the launcher, I use Launcher Pro Plus and it works great! I also really like the Sense app, like contacts, music, app sharing, and apps like that... I really don't know what to do :S
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
has Leedroid gotten rid of the SD card bug now? i found a lot of bugs with 1.7 in fact i would go as far to say it was the worst rom i have tried (and i have flashed nearly all within the last 2 weeks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markeh:
i use neophyte nextsense aswell its v good. i haven't used a non-sense rom since the defrost one which was using the nexus froyo (back in june i think).

however from looking at the 'post your screenshots' thread in the themes and apps section i'm tempted to go back to non-sense as some of the roms and mods make it look really cool.

what does everyone think is the coolest / sexiest looking setup?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dunbad:
Neophyte 1.6. You will not go wrong. If you think those other roms are good, you will ejaculate in your pants with a neo Rom. I think that first neophyte Rom comes down to a fluke of nature. His latest Rom nextsense is good and I enjoy playing. But the occasional bug. Still better than anything else I believe.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackWhiteOne:
I prefer modaco official version.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Neophyte 1.6 as said. You will not find a more stable or better ROM imo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
why don't you give a go on my rom....i saw you haven't mentioned it....

the latest r3.1 version is as stable a rom can be and i have 2 versions.....one if you want all the HTC apps and one with HTC Sense but without the apps, just launcher, widgets and main apps (people,dialer,mail, calendar)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
My brother tried it and sad me that is a very fast and stable rom. The problem is that it's based on 2.06 relase... What are the differences between the 2.06 relasa and the 2.09 one (the official OTA rom) ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
I'd like to try your rom, I've seen it two night ago but the problem is that I'm very tired about doing the wipe every time!! And I don't know how to use titanium backup... that's the problem
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beebow:
+1

who cares if its 2.06. it owns 2.09 like nothing else.

faster, more stable, better battery life. what more needs to be said? =P
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
i can help you learn it if you want....PM me if you do

believe me i tried a lot roms and not cause it's mine but cause it's true you will like it a lot...STABLE AND FAST....battery life is on the good side...i was on holidays last week for 7 days and i charged the phone just once (light use though, 10-15 calls, 20-30 pics daily and a couple sms) and in 7 day night i had to charge again...with medium-high use you can get 1.5 days if you charge properly....

BUT ANYTHING anyone says is not true until you try something...this is what i think....it may work on you and don't work on me who knows
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
What about the battery? How often do you have to charge the phone? In every rom I've tried the battery sucks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
as for the battery i think you can't compare it just right when you flash the rom....myself i do one full charging cycle and then rate a rom's battery life in order to get the full idea....

flash the rom, charge it till 100% (unplug before discharge) and then see how it does
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
hi lambrospower. I am just downloading your rom and will give it a try mate. Going back to your battery comment, this is a question that i have been thinking about for some time, but never got around to asking anyone, i hope you may know the answer for me? Since i have had my desire (3 months) the only way that i have ever charged it is with USB. Maybe once i have done a full charge with the 240v adaptor, the rest of the time it is plugged into my PC either charging or as a disk drive, my question is, will that make a difference to my overall battery performance? because i havent been charging it with the mains adaptor will my battery be "weaker" than a person that has always used the in-wall charger? I seem to get really bad battery life with most roms that i have tried (and believe me, i have tried a lot!!:)) yesterday i went out for a few hours, around 3 hours, battery was at 100% when i left, 3 hours later 55%!! now in my eyes that is a hell of a lot of decrease...... This was with NeYophyTeNexTSense rom (but i cant fault NeYo, he is a good chef, hats off to the lad, this is why i think its me thats either doing something wrong (settings) or it is in fact a battery problem?? :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dual-booter:
Hi guys, I really like OpenDesire, but it's stock Google ROM (or based thereon) so it's got no FM Radio functionality. A question to all users of stock ROMs: how do you guys cope with the absence of an FM Radio knowing that hardware-wise your Desire supports it but the software does not have it? As for me personally, I've been tilting back and forth between OpenDesire-like ROMs and SenseUI-like ROMs, and it's still bugs me. On the one hand, I love the stock ROM for its cleanliness and overall looks (without Sense bells & whistles), but that I don't have the FM radio keeps bugging me like hell. Can anyone share their experiences?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
well i know that it doesn't matter if you charge unplug all the time while using it BUT if you have such a low performance you should calibrate your battery....i do it once or twice a month and i never have battery problems......

this is exactly what recalibration is....

in amon ra recovery there is an option to delete battery stats if you don't want to go into adb shell and commands
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
I'll do it with your rom. You've convinced me :) (I've sent you a PM, I'll see your answer later because now it's time for me to study :( )
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salimane:
Pays-ROM Froyo Sense v1.8 A2SD+ is the most stable sense based rom in the entire forum!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
why don't you install a rom without the HTC Apps except for the necessary main applications and use a stock launcher like launcherPro or ADW
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
In my opinion HTC Apps are very good, even if I don't like the launcher (I use launcher Pro Plus)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
i love them too this is why i have sense roms.....i mean for widgets, etc....which can be replaced by 3rd parties which are better
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio.desire:
As soon as I've finished my homework I'll download your rom :)

I hope it'll be the last time that i do a wipe :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muteor:
Hi

I see that using titanium backup was mentioned in this thread. Can anyone link to a tutorial of how to use it after a wipe and new Rom install, or is it just a case of selecting restore? I was wondering if there was a process to follow or anything you should not forget todo

Thx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedipottsy:
definately OpenDesire! or for sense MCR (i dont like bloat or crapware)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesirableHTC:
yeah i have reset battery stats when i flashed a rom last week, after being advised to.

thanks. i will try your rom next.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuntang:
Easily the best sense Rom is the latest Nextsense. V4. If you don't like sense, and I'm not really sure why you wouldn't, then get the latest open desire. It's pretty fast.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beppemi:
For my experience, i think LeeDroid is the most stable and smooth sense rom.
[Desire General] cheesebanana:
considering selling it today and of course i'll need to get rid of my private stuff. what will factory reset do to the root and the custom rom etc?
[Desire General] rolfd:
If you want to sell it then you could unroot it by flashing the original ruu on it. That will take it back to stock and it will look like it did the day you took it out of the box.

A factory reset will just remove your apps, and the usual personalised stuff. Personally when I've tried a factory reset on a custom rom I've been left with the phone in a boot loop so had to install a new rom.
[Desire General] samleung:
Agreed, do the buyer a favor and give him/her a stock Desire to do as he or she pleases.

[HD2 General] Mastiff:
I don't need it, and it's a pain in the a$$ because I often read mail and surf the web before I go to sleep, and laying down with the phone will sooner or later make the screen rotate. Sooner (like at once) with mail, later with websurfing (because I have set the rotation check to a long time on Opera). But can I get rid of that unwanted bull completely and totally? Cab, reg hack, burying a dead cat in a churchyard on a Thursday with full moon, any method will be appreciated!
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Try changescreen and set it to display only in portrait mode.
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
There is an option in BSB Tweaks to disable rotation. I have it disabled too, however it still rotates in Opera. I'm still trying to figure out how to kill rotation for that program.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
It seems like the only workaround to the auto-rotate in Opera [9.5/9.7] is by going into the registry:

HKLM\Software\Opera\GSensor\IdleTime = [enter a large number, like 5555555]

The large number you enter (IdleTime) is the time (in ms) it takes for the screen to change in orientation.

EDIT: Another way is changescreen. If you add opera9 as an exception and set it to display only in portrait mode, Opera will not auto-rotate. It worked after I added it to the exception list and soft-reset.
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
Thanks! That worked! :D I have been using that idle time trick before, but that meant that even at the highest setting it would rotate before I went to sleep... ;) And the mail/SMS app I couldn't stop rotating with BSB tweaks. Now it rotates for half a second or so the moment I turn it before it's going back into the correct mode. I would of course like to avoid that as well, but it's a lot better.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
You could go in the registry for changescreen's idle time -- the lower the setting, the less "accidents" I have with the exceptions rotating in different ways:

HKCU\Software\idevelopstuff\changescreen\Delay = 50 (my setting)

**my changescreen delay time matches my phone's Gsensor's polling time**:

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor\PollingInterval = 50

I hope that helps.
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
That's weird. I don't have that setting, only five other settings (ReOpenSip, PocketOffNoLight, ScreenOffNoLight, VibrateOnRotation and ScreenOffOnFaceDown). Should I add that setting?
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
I suppose.

I'm just wondering why you don't have it.:confused:

In the changescreen app this is what I have checked:

[B]General Tab:[/B]
-Enabled
-Run on Startup
-Portrait, Landscape (left), Landscape (right)
[B]Advanced Tab:[/B]
-Sensitivity: slider is all the way to the left.

Then I press Save. Then I have that "Delay" value in the registry.
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
We definitively have different versions of the program, because there is no such slider on my advanced tab. I have one called 2.5, dated the 13th of March 09. What's your version?
[HD2 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
ive tried turning mine off, but its very difficult, havent found a solution, ended up bricking my phone once lol
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Oh, that's why!

I'm running the latest (maybe the final) build -- 2.78. I attached it for your convenience.:)
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
Thanks, that helped! I thought the version at the top of the thread was the latest... Silly me. But if I put the delay time any shorter than the 250 ms that's the fastest on the slider it will stop reacting. :( I will try to experiment with changing the time on the polling interval for the sensor. It's 200 ms on my HD2.

Edit: Setting both sensor polling and Changescreen delay to 50 ms made the flash to landscape and back to portrait go much faster, but it didn't dissappear completely. Still, this is a lot better than having to exit Opera or the tmail program to get the screen the right way again. Thanks! :D
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Why not try downloading and installing the HTC update for the Car Kit Mode.

Then run NaviPanel (in the Windows folder). In the options you can set it so that it stays in either landscape or portrait mode. Select the Home hardware button to continue reading e-mails or whatever.
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
Sounds interesting, but does that mean that it has to rotate first, and then I have to press the hardware button? If it does, the Changescreen works better because I won't have to press anything, only wait for a few tenths of a second before it pops back to the correct portrait setting.
[HD2 General] mynamesteve:
you could try touch tools

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683951

there is a rotation manager within this set of tools, you can add and also remove programs from the rotation list.

I know opera is in the list as i use touch tools but i wont delete it as i use the rotation.

Hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] Mastiff:
Thanks! That was the perfect solution! I simply deleted everything that was in the list, and now it seems like nothing rotates! :D
[HD2 General] mynamesteve:
awsome glad that helped :)

Why would the Mail app open? Is this a bug and is there anyway to disable this?

Perhaps the mail app is where the end call button is? Perhaps the other person is hanging up before he gets a chance. Try calling him and get him to hang up on you. See if is still does it.
