[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asmaridis:
I've tried Leedroid (SENSE) and DeFrost (NON-SENSE).

Both are really good but after some experience I've decided to stick with non sense ROMs. They are by far faster but that eventually comes at the price of some higher battery drain.

DeFrost FTW !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
You must be thinking, i'll find the best and most popular one and i wont be flashing again in the next few months/weeks. You're wrong. You come here, you'll be flashing all roms as the clocks ticking.

I have tried all except MIUI and Defrost so far. and am sticking on OpenDesire for the longest AOSP rom and Modaco R8 for the sense ROM.

But my personal choice;

CyanogenMod : Be it Nightly, stable or RC, i love it to the core! Best AOSP rom ever. I tried them all and they are super fast! The reason i didnt use it currently because i waited for the stable 6.1. Hehe~~ Love the nightlies before RC1 got released though.

OpenDesire : The dev(AdamG) used to have minor updates almost everyday but now, very2 long time before an update, meaning it is at the most stable version now. and it is true cuz i didnt believe it at first( I used to use the older versions and it still have some bugs) but now it is the best for me. Best after CM(cant deny CM, they are the master here).

LeeDroid : Well i've tried all Sense roms already, and this seems the most stable and fast(though i found out it become slower over time, my fault for installing so many apps maybe). I used to love NeXTSense by Neo, but when it got changed to AuraxtSense, i jumped to Lee.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
I'm sorry for posting in the wrong section, but i wasn't sure where to post in the different areas.

Well, you named different roms, but which are the differences (explained to a nearly-noob)?

I'm searching for something with the same interface of the normale roms, but purified from all the (in)utilities. In fact a clean and fast rom, in which THEN i decide what i like to install and personalize...

If I can make a representation, a roms with no apps which are not native (facebook, twitter, opera and all the others), but with only the things that you nedd as a basis for all the rest.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3llb3nd4:
Lol the op will still have a hard time deciding. XD

The best way for you to choose which Rom to use is to download and test each one individually. Hope you get ORD btw :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
I'd like to test them all, but at the moment i'm under exams and for next 5 weeks don't have enough time to test anything. :(

so I was searching for a direct suggestion explaining what will change and what will not change.. :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstegeman:
If you want a rooted rom similar to your current one, why don't you just use unrevoked to root your current rom?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
MIUI! or Defrost!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -WP7User-:
If you want speed, then go for Cyanogenmod 6.1, DeFroST or OpenDesire. If you want a nice UI, too, you have to put a theme on it or use a Rom like RCMixHD, AuraxTSense or smth. like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
a-ehm...are there ROMs that haven't been named yet? :D LOL :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
easy, test it while you go. thats what i did.

Here's my timeline(some are examples);

I'm meeting my girlfriend tomorrow, lets bring LeeDroid! and yeah i did it, i manage to test all features and stability while I'm in the bus travelling from my place to her(took 8 hours in the bus). i screwed up while playing around though, the phone didnt boot so i had to restore nandroid of my modaco R8 back...haha~~

This weekend is examination time(yeah seriously no joke), so last week i flashed OpenDesire. Now i'm still using it. done exploring it in a day though, and keeping it longer than i imagined since i love it.

Presentation week, damn it this week was very busy and i tried Cyanogenmod Nightly 149. Love it. but no themes for it so i flashes CM 6.0.2...but aah too many gallery crash for me so i'm back to OpenDesire.

Well those are my moments, you'll be done exploring in 2 days at max for a rom though. Be sure to test all primary function first before you begin to like them. I did all in a day only. shouldnt be too hard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
ok, it could be a good idea...but the problem isn' solved yet.

with which is suggested to start? :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reddev0:
You stated you wanted something similar to what your using now, i.e. sense.

So either go for the rooted HTC stock rom, or if your feeling a bit more adventurous and fancy something a bit more optimized/customized try LeeDroid. There are two versions, one that allows you to use part of your SDcard as internal memory, or one if you don't fancy partitioning your card and can live with Froyo app2sd.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
My 2 pence...

RCMixHD - It's a port of the Desire HD ROM and it's awesome. Best Sense-based ROM available...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuffyPSP:
lol suggest you try the one by ieftm, closest to stock, and sense!

for AOSP, CM or OD.

thats it...just go and flash already, cuz u wont get anything reading here anymore. people have suggest many roms already and its up to you now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piemo:
ok, i decided! (finally LOL)

i'll start with the stock rom, just to know better the phone and then leedroid....and then all the others. :D

Just the last silly question.

I've ordered a microSD kingston 16Gb, shall I root the phone with the 4Gb stock and then only copy the file in the new one?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
EddyOS

I am interested in the ported HD ROM that you are running. How stable is it? I know the camera doesn't work yet but are there other issues with it? Does DLNA work on vanilla Desire? Have you managed to register with HTCSense.com with the ported ROM?

Also, whats battery life like compared to stock Desire ROM? Does this ROM have native trackpad wake?

Is there only 1 version of this ported HD ROM and where to d/l it from

Soz for soooo many q's

Hi folks not been around for a while. ive been away from the sharp end of wm for a while and am looking to upgrade my mobile soon

I run my own company (very Small) and need to invoice Create and email) on the go and being able to print via bt would be good as would have decent on device storage aswell as expandable sotrage

currently im using an iphone 3gs but want to get back to wm as i feel its more flexable

i use my devices for navigation, chat as i work away from home all week so the question would wp7 work for me or would be better going for somthing with 6.5 or is android a better option
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Hey, so welcome back then ;)

Man, thats a subjective question and one that ALOT of people are asking.

Tricky, because if your using an older wm device but want the speed and goodies of a newer one, what do you do? Wait for wp7 or steam straight in and get an HD2 or later Droid device?

I had exactly this choice to make 2 months ago. I was telling myself to hold out until Christmas and get a wp7, but i couldnt wait that long :D

I bit the bullett and got myself an HD2. Why you ask?

THe new stock roms (HTC stock 3.14 available for only the past few weeks) are fast and with the newer radio means i can run android from my microsd (8gb class 6) without the need for hardpsl (just in warranty and its a work device). So i have the best of both worlds with wm6.5 and android.

And who knows for the future, perhaps we will get wp7 running on the hd2 afterall?

Which ever way you go, whether thats a hd2, droid such as desire hd for example you wont be disappointed. (you prob know this but you cant run winmo on a droid device, hence the reason for my choice :) )

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] alix776:
tell about it went iphone to see what it was like and feel im locked in to it dont get me wrong its good device for my needs but lacks something that i cant put my finger on. for me mainly bluetooth printing as this is something i really do need on a regular basis we cant upgrade till january

from what ive seen wp7 does look good but as usual i think ms will totally miss the boat as usual

the mrs wants the desire so shes sorted

personally with the recent reports of LBS advertising being used in the back ground unknown to the user on android it does give me cold feet a little with the os
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willie133:
Oh no not another loose hinge thread!

I actually CAN live with it... I still think this phone is pretty awesome and I can just use my index fingers to keep it up when typing on my bed and it's not too ridiculously loose that it moves around by itself.

However, after hearing so many people say confidently that they'll eventually fix it... I wanna ask the question of how many of you actually think they'll address this issue.

I know some people say it's not even an issue the phone is suppose to be like that... some people will say that it isn't because some hinges aren't loose... and the other people that say that even it if isn't loose now it'll become loose.

Also the issue with the 4GB ROM... think that'll be address?

This phone isn't quite as popular as the iPhone and the issue at hand isn't quite as drastic as the loss of reception while holding the phone issue. Apple at first tried to play it off as "you guys aren't holding your phone right!" I'm pretty sure HTC would do the same thing. The phone isn't quite as main stream as the iPhone either so I for one really doubt for there to be a "fix". Not that I wouldn't want one... but just saying.

TL;DR - Who really think they'll fix the issues with the hinge and 4GB ROM
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
No and no.

I've begun to think a permanent root is also impossible. Without having to rip it apart or using that expensive wire and chip.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etjrowe:
I thought the 4Gb thing had been pretty much put to rest? Nothing really to fix, just need real root so we can get rid of all the junk taking up most of that 4Gb. As far as the hinge issue, they aren't going to do anything. My wife is a T-Mobile employee and they are training people that the official stance is that the issue does not exist. The phones hinge is that way by design from HTC. Now their is plenty of proof out their that some are worse than others, but almost none are so bad that it actually hinders the use of the phone. Mine is loose, but I have gotten used to it. They have been pretty loose with their exchange requirements, so its really not hard to get a replacement with minimum hassle if you believe you have a real defect. But as far as official acknowledgement and "fixes " for these "issues", I think the chances are slim to none.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willie133:
I'm not too saavy with all the mechanics and complicated code behind rooting but I hope that someone gets the permaroot down. If there's a will there's a will? *Shrugs* At least we have the VISIONary temp root for now. Hell if we're going to crack the phone open for a root I might just crack the whole phone down and try to make the hinge stronger just for kicks.

First... I like how it said Sent from my rooted space banana using telekinesis at the end. Second... I thought that T-Mobile would do that, the phone and issue just isn't too drastic enough for HTC and T-Mobile to fix such issues. As far as the 4GB is concerned, I read that it was some partition crap on another thread and probably misinterpreted that... but still I would like to believe that this phone would be capable of more space than 1.2-1.5GB's if the space was better utilized. Who knows, I hopped from a BlackBerry/iPhone platform to this so I'm still pretty new to all this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zj45499:
No way. The phone is out for one mere month. Come on ! What was it that took all your hope away?

We have so many geeks working on this little phone and I don't believe their perspiration is pointless.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
Agreed. Although, I don't think they would appreciate being called geeks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithRVA:
To the OP regarding the hinge issue: invest 99 cents in some velcro tape and put just the tiniest bit between the screen and keyboard. Voila! Your keyboard stays open as you type hanging upside down like a winged nocturnal rodent. Then call HTC and offer your services as hardware engineer extraordinaire.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willie133:
Well I'm not quite as bugged by it more that the point of the thread was to see who really thinks that HTC's going to address this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddgarcia05:
That's actually a good idea.

If it is possible to update the stock ROM via OTA, then it's is possible to root it and install third party ROM.

All we need to wait is an OTA update...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsnelson:
Agree, but I have to say, I chuckled when I had this thought while reading the wiki etc.: What if they DID screw up and, in fact, the device CAN'T be updated due to a bug in the NAND locking? Honestly, that'd be just fine with me, because it'd mean that they can't screw up our temp root, and frankly, temp root plus wifi tether is all I need. I realize that others want more, and don't get me wrong, I'd certainly try a Cyanogen or other well-cooked ROM if it becomes possible.

What I *don't* want to have happen is an OTA that closes the temp root loophole, but still doesn't let us figure out how to do permanent root, effectively locking us out of the device.

There's a way around everything just hasn't been figured out yet. The phone isn't even a month old yet. Give it some time. We WILL have perm root.

Or you can just shoot a load up into the hinges. Thats what brian boytono would do.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willie133:
I'd actually like to see that in a picture.... care to upload? I would think that the velcro would be too thick or would get annoying cause you'd hear it everytime you move it up and down. Please show them pictures!

I'm sorry I didn't get what that last part meant =[
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tankmorph:
It's a bodily fluid / figure skater reference. It probably makes you a more intelligent person NOT to "get it".
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithRVA:
The velcro doesn't add any thickness at all the way I did it. But it does make the velcro sound when closing the keyboard, it's not really noticeable after the first few times. Will post pics when I get a chance.

edit: here are pics, not terribly difficult to figure out where to put the velcro to keep the keyboard open...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ragin:
Hi guys & gals.

I am a keen flasher, even an OCRF http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=823702

But restoring all your themes & 170+ applications could take me a better part of half a day, hence I was apprehensive.

Well, this time around I tried something different. IT WORKS. No need to backup your settings. No need to Factory reset, Wipe data before hand. DONT DO THEM. No need to remove your old lagfix (Sztupy's 0.3 ONLY). No need to remove your tweaks. No need to backup your apps & whatelse.

Here is what I did, Went into Recovery, checked which lagfix I was using, what tweaks were turned on, noted them down.

Downloaded V7, put it on my sdcard as update.zip, went into recovery & applied update.zip.

When my phone rebooted into recovery, I went back & reapplied all my settings. Lagfix & tweaks.

When I restarted, everything was as it was 3 minutes ago, but only with V7. I mean NOT A SINGLE FC, everything in its place, & believe me I have a VERY costomized 5 pages of ADW with 170+ apps, 800+contacts, 500 log entreis for calls, sms APN settings, JUST EVERYTHING..

I hope this helps someone.YOU CANT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF IT BREAKS YOUR PHONE. This experience is being shared with good intentions.

I am very sure its Sztupy's modified CWM that makes this possible.

Check the last few posts in Doc_Kalpik's post, they are painfully, undoing the lag fix, backing things up, flashing & then restoring. 6 hrs of life GONE.

IF IT HELPS SAY IT HERE, might help others.

OK, after testing this method for 7.5 hours, here is my revised review. Before I did this, My gmail, sms, noLED & a lot of other apps were giving me FC's, Now thats GONE. The market was totally unreliable, starting the download, doesn't finish, downloads get linked, (that was the worst) & all sorts of issues. MARKETS NOW WORKS FLAWLESSLY.

EarlZ confirms that using this method he has come from V5.1.1 to V7 without issues.

one question

do you use CWR for back up or other app
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EarlZ:
So if its done we rename it via update.zip and use 2e recovery nothing gets wiped as compared to the choose zip file from CWM ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ragin:
IF you are running Doc_Kalpik's v6 with ULK, you can switchover to V7 by this method. Yea, remane it as update zip, enter into Sztupy's CWM, flash sdcard:update.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sunwee:
yup works. but i went to choose the .zip file to flash. works the same. (as long as the kernel supports the same filesystem as you have chosen for the lagfix, then all will be well :))
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ragin:
I guess I am gonna stick with Sztupy's ULK no matter what FW I chose in future.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EarlZ:

Try it brother, it should work, if it works, I will mention it on the first post with your name.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EarlZ:
Ill make a backup then ill try it.

EDIT:

When running CWM with the update.zip it does inform me that its formatting the system and deleting data...

After a couple of mins the phone is done and a reboot is in order ( took about 2-3mins to reboot ) and none of my data seems to be wiped, the battery mod is gone though seems that everything else is intact no application/setting changes.
