I got my Evo about a month ago and thought it was strange that the vibrate was kinda weak, then later noticed the not so black purplish haze screen look. I talked to sprint about the nova and epson screen and they said go to your local store to see if you can trade it in...now i have rooted mine and did all this work to it and want to know if i should go trade it in or is this normal stuff? I dont want a new one with 2.2 already on it:(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
I swapped mine out because I had the power button crack and dust under the screen, I also had a novatec screen that showed the verticle yellow lines REAL BAD.

My new one is the same HW version and screen type and has no power button crack or verticle yellow lines but has dust under the screen now just as bad as the last one.

IMO I would get as much mileage as you can out of that one, do some torture tests, whatever, and shell out $100 in 6 months for a new one. Thats my plan :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:
ive been hear HW for a while, what is HW?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
HardWare Version

they are up to HW Version 003 now. At least I haven't seen any reports of 004 yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
i dont really see the problems here. its known that the nova and epson screens have different color profiles and therefore different ideas on what "black" and "white" are. the accepted situation is that epson screens have a truer black but are washed out, whereas novas are more saturated and "black" shows up as "purple haze". its a personal preference which you prefer, i didnt notice the purple till it was pointed out.

the vibration on the phone is pretty pathetic. i dont notice it often when its in my pocket.

it all comes down to personal preference, if you've already put the work into having a phone the way you want, keep it. you might trade it in and be very unhappy with the epson screen.

the grass is always greener on the other side. if youre grass aint green, water it.

Hello everyone!

I am new to android platform, and those days i was reading a lot about custom ROM's. Today i bought new HTC Desire, which comes with Android 2.1. I want to install some custom ROM, which is on Android 2.2. I readed a lot about openDesire, and i want to ask you, can you tell me which ROM is the best?

2.1. on my phone is fast, but i watched some videos on youtube, that is running 2.2, and it seems a lot faster than 2.1.

Btw i would like that custom ROM have HTC Sense.

Thanks!

First of all, OpenDesire doesn't have Sense. There really is no "best" rom. I like Pinky's rom, but others prefer LeeDroid or even different ones. There are a lot of roms with Sense and most are pretty good.

Undisputed best ROM for HTC Desire is MiUi

Over last year or more, I have tried several custom ROMs for HTC Desire, from LeeDroid, Cyanogen, ownhere, NeoPhyte and few others, but since I came across MiUi, I have not looked for anything else because this just simply is the BEST ROM for HTC Desire.

Have a look at it for yourself -

miui-au.com
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prosciutboy:
Strange that Oxygen has not been mentioned in this thread, it is a really great stable ROM (Battery consumption is good too).

I suggest you to give a try on it.

Note that for the moment the camera recording is not working (have a look at the first 2 posts in the oxygen thread).

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
I find that Oxygen isn't that stable at all or fast and a little laggy. No idea if it's just my phone but it seems that way with they others as well. I am going to try it again tonight to see if it has been improved since the last time I used it.

MIUI-Au is an extremely fast rom, faster than the other Froyo roms. I guess selecting a rom for yourself you need to test them and see which you like.

I used to use miui, then went to lee droid, then back to miui. I think I have.found perfection in insert coin by baad newz. Best battery for a sense based rom.

Starbust has been best rom for me because it is stable and fast plus it gives you internal memory of upto 2GB.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
I've used 3 varieties of ROMs so far: LeeDroid 2.3 c and 2.3 d, MIUI and now StarBurst. IMO, what affects batt life most are your kernel, radio & RIL, SetCPU settings (esp. overclocking), battery calibration, and most importantly, how you use your phone.

Most ROMs have more similarities than differences from one another, the main difference being if they're Sense, Gingerbread, GingerSense, AOSP variety, etc.

I also did a couple of things that got rid of lag on StarBurst: flashed the Rosie Unpatch script, and deleted HTC Sense Launcher from Titanium. Now it's an instantaneous wakeup everytime I push the trackball, with a 100-second startup time from completely off. Good enough for me.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
I'm currently running Ginger Villain 2.1 on my HTC Desire (Bravo, from first production line in EU), and even though it is the best rom I could think of (I've tried many) I have a couple of issues with it;

- CPU control is in Config, but doesn't do anything. Can't set it to Minimum 128 MHz.

- The android facebook app. crashes really every few seconds of usage. No idea why. Installed it via market.

- A2SDGUI does not seem to work for Dalvik cache, I only see errors when I try. Also, the commands via a terminal app don't do the job either.

Other than that: Great rom! Hope it will see some updates soon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahman45:
Lol with so many issues you still find it as the best for desire? I will try it when I get bored with miui
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
Well, those are only a few issues compared to the many I experience with other roms.

The point is that for facebook crashing I'm not so sure it's caused by the rom.. Probably some kernel incompatibility (the GV 2.1 has a really new kernel).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puredesire:
Why not test stock rom only rooted?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
Lack of free time?

There was a facebook app update yesterday morning, and it has solved the crashes.

Only thing really missing in the Ginger Villain 2.1 rom is the CPU settings as they are in Redux rom, where you can set the lower 128 MHz CPU for when display is off, among others. That one really saves a lot of power/battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiz2036:
Just use UV/OC kernel like vorkkernel or thalamus and other AOSP kernel. u can set the cpu minimum to 128mhz ondemand setting.. this kernel i can say have good battery life
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jult:
Sure, but why not build those into the GV 2.1 rom then? I'm not going to compile my own kernels for my phone just yet. In fact, I'm glad I finally found a stable rom that suits me for daily usage of my phone. For now I'm merely waiting out updates/upgrades to this particular rom.

I'm hoping Richard will consider implementing the Redux CPU settings into his Ginger Villain rom. Not trying out any others for quite a while.

MIUI if great rom and battery is sweet. these days smartphone have ****ty battery. with MIUI i havent experienced crappy battery yet and i love it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Oxygen ROM...fast, clean, stable, and, which is far more important to me, it seems trustworthy.

Just think about how much hacks, workarounds and dirty implementations are neccessary to keep ROMs like Cyanogen, InsertCoin, RCMix S etc. running. Who guarantees, that theese methods do not cause huge security flaws?

In my opinion, a rom needs to be either stock and unrooted, or AOSP with no hacks included, so that i can trust in the rom's architecture...me personally, i would not use mobile banking from a rom like gingersense-hacked-anything...

(To be not misunderstood: I do not accuse anyone of smuggling malware into some rom, it's just a bad feeling that i have about roms, that are to heavily modified. I think Baadnwz, Robocick and all the other devs are hard working and respectable men/women(?), but even they cannot check every part of the roms base to ensure that there are no more security flaws than there are in the stock rom.)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUsta:
First of all, I'm very thankful to all the devs that put their time and effort in making great ROMs for Desire. That makes this phone truly fun to have.

I've tried various ROMs and the closest to my taste come the ASOP/non-Sense ROMs: Gingervillain, Redux, Oxygen and Cyanogenmod. These are fast, light and allow me to choose what to put on them.

Sense ROMs are more "bloated" for my taste. Some may disagree here, but I don't fancy rooting my phone and then putting a heavy coat on it.

Then there are also MIUI ROMs. Very nice work, smoother than Sense ROMs, but UI is not my taste.

In my experience, the ROM im using now(Supernova Xtreme) is the best ROM experience Ive had with any. The Kernel overclocks without any issue, so havent had to tinker about with other Kernels and everything was simple and easy to install. Data2SD has given me no lag issues and if anything I find my user experince quicker than using the standard HTC gingerbread ROM.

The only small critisiscm I can say is that I found Supernova's site a little confusing, there was a instruction to install a Data2SD zip file which is unnecessary because everything you need is included in the ROM(except the radio if coming from Froyo).

Yes you are correct. Nothing special just flash zip file for radio via recovery. It might help your signal. It might be the same. But won't be any worse. There's mixed debates on this radio. Depending on where your located.

hi,

i installed Kenia V Rom (WM 6.1, Sense 2.5).

I would like to disable totally any autorotate.

I tried in a lot of ways:

- installing programs (flipit, changescreen, gyrator)

- using programs and tweeks in the rom

- using some reg keys (local>software>htc>htcsensor; and other keys)..

....

...but i can't disable autorotation in album...after soft reset, the key "local>software>htc>htcsensor>gsensor deviceAvailability" (that i set to 0) come back to 1.....

any ideas?

MOD EDIT - Thread moved to General discussion forum as not related to rom development
[Touch HD General] gio300zx:
With apologies to thread starter, I want to do the opposite! I want to have everything on my Touch HD rotate as I use it in the car landscape. The last thing I found would do this is MaxManila but nothing since and MaxSense does not support landscape.

For example, using Energy ROM with CHT, 21908 / 2015 10 Jul 10, this has rotate screen so I get into car, rotate to landscape fine, start satnav which is landscape OK, then someone calls me, phone answers in landscape then switches (without me doing anything) to portrait, finish phone call and now satnav has switched to portrait. Aargh. Where/how can I find something that just sets autorotate everything = on without having to set every single bloody application separately.
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
gyrator 2 does that.

and it is free and easy to set up.
[Touch HD General] gio300zx:
From memory, Gyrator was one of the apps cooked into one of the many ROMS I tried since the last MaxManila one. I had to set each and every application I wanted to be landscape. Such a PITA, I never bothered. Plus it didn't seem to work OK with dialler (or I couldn't find how).

I just checked today on the Gyrator 2 thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427805&page=132 and the developer himself said

So I am not sure I want to get used to an app which is no longer supported - I can see a time when next ROM I flash, Gyrator stops working...

I don't understand why autorotate was so easy with MaxManila and almost impossible with everything else? It is very difficult to find answers (try searching for rotate or landscape and you get so many irrelevant results - it's like searching google for "and").

Surely I can't be the only person visiting this forum who has satnav working in landscape while in the car?
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
the newest gyrator version has a general rotation implemented, meaning, it will turn the display in ANY program by default, the only thing, you'd need to set up are programs, that you don't want to turn, like phone or coreplayer...
[Touch HD General] gio300zx:
Thank you. The latest version on his site I can find is Version 2008.12.10 r1 - is that the one you mean?

I do need the dialler to rotate also, because if the Touch HD is landscape in the car and the phone rings....
