List of Modded roms please

hi ive just managed to root my phone after the 100th time! i have a hero theme on the phone supplied by fatality which is a bit slow for me. Can anybody supply links to some recommended roms please preferably very fast!
cheers guys
edit: forgot to add i have a uk vodafone magic with 32b board. cheers

You can find all roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=493

i have seen those but would like to hear peoples opinions on the roms they have used in their magic and which they recommend

i think you have 32b version.. well yeah hero is slow. i had one i used Cyanogen roms.. its light.
well for 32a i have..i use hero rom.. its not fatality one. i dont know were i got it from. but works gr8. no wifi problems. sync works . everythig is perfect.. sometimes i feel that i am using HTC HERO..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531837
its from here HERO-8

I'm using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538633
The best one I've tried so far

ok thanks for the replies! these all look good but anybody else have any preferences?

I'm using the same ROM as Malky1903. It's fast and stable and has some nice features. Root access, battery status on the lock screen, cpu overclocker (not really needed though), menu is 5 icons wide rather than 4 icons, and the home screen can be scrolled over 5 screens rather than 3. There are also other small enhancements like the animations (taken from the hero rom) and other tweaks that seem to make it run really nicely.
I've tried 2 Hero ROMs and have given up pretty quickly after both occasions - the 32B Magic just doesn't seem very capable on this ROMs IMHO.
I'm still looking for the perfect ROM but am going to leave it for a while I think. CyanogenMod v3.6.8 is pretty close - just need that Exchange sync to work and I will be very happy! There is some good stuff coming with all the new Donut threads appearing ... but it looks like we could be a few weeks from getting stable builds out of there yet.
There is a list of the available ROMs at the bottom of the sapphire wiki page.

Best thing is just to keep reading the forums and try not to get too addicted!

finally went for the following: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523971
absolutley brilliant Rom. Best ive tried. so far....

I was wondering if there's any mileage in adding to the Wiki somewhere, so that there's a listing for each ROM and its specific feature list. Maybe even some kind of matrix with the common features all listed, and ticks or crosses depending on whether a particular ROM has it or not. For me, Exchange compatibility is absolutely, positively, crucial so there really isn't much point me flashing some of these ROMs to find it's not there. Having to trawl through the ROM's own specific thread on the forum (and often such things are not seen as important by others on the thread, so are not mentioned) to find such info is a real drag.

Vodafone Magic 32b Users: The Fastest Ever Sense Rom is...

I´m new posting here, but I´d been searching for a while in this forum for a Sense Rom that makes me forget enomther´s 1.6 Rom (the one I revert back after getting tired of FC´s and Homescreen Loads of the latest Rom) and I had finally found the first native looking 32B SenseRom.
The curiosity is that I found it in Dream´s Dev Forum...based on one Rom from guess who: Eugene!
[ROM] Sense Revolution v.2.2:

Bad News: some typical problems with Bluetooth, Wifi, G-Sensors and Graphics errors when gaming (Speedforge and Head to Head Racing) due to RAM hack craps.
02/12/09 Update : New Version is called MYHEROrevolution v.2 (direct link added)

I would've said this was the wrong place for this but it's actually pretty helpful. I didn't notice it in the dream section. Seems that's the only place 32b magic users find most roms.
Thanks for the heads up justclimb, flashing right now just to try it out. Wifi's a bummer. I use that ALOT.
Update: Wifi seems to be working on it. It's a little sluggish though, i'm going to reflash with the proper partitions.

I´m actually testing Qtek´s latest Rom and like all others I´m tired of home loads, multiple partitions, swapiness and all that non native crap. Until someone turns this great Revolution Rom into something "magical" I´ll stick to Qtek´s deleting the Sense Apk preferences and pressing home...

well i think this is a good poll my vote is hero_over it's very stable and super fast and no lag in the homescreen you need a swap and ext but thats is no problem with the new amon recovery ;-) and the best thing is wifi g-sensor works ;-) i tryed many roms so... this runs best for me

If only ttran001's OTPA Sense UI ROM was here i would vote for that.
I've been using it for 4 weeks now and its the smoothest thing i've ever tried

have any one tried the rom by maxima
as the guys at the unlockr recommend it as the best ROM

It is the best, right after ttran001's ROM.
Maxisma's got the kernel problem with SOME! people being able to use the ROM and some people not.
ttran001 had that problem too, but he fixed it by a reverting patch to another kernel.

SO how does Trojan Final Hero stack up against the roms of ttrann001 and maxima's?
Ive got the Trojan Final Hero rom installed, almost never had the loading screen but every app i launch does take two seconds or so to actually boot up, you click, screen goes black for a few secs and i see the app. However ive not had a homescreen reload yet. I do have to use 128mb swap to prevent that tho.

Since some chefs had sadly abandoned this forum...
I´ve just added some links to their newest work.

I also wanted to add after i saw you linked eugene's old rom, that SuperMagic is one of the BEST roms i've ever tried. i liked it better than trojan rom!
It doesn't have the regular sense ui rosie but it's very solid and pretty snappy. My only problem was every now and then getting loading screens, i believe it was because i was using 32mb swap. I'm probably going to restore my nandroid backup and try that out again!
Currently trying qtek's and loving it!
It's a close call between eugene's and qtek's. very close.

Take a look at hero_over´s...it´s actually one of the smoothest out there, and better than any from eugene.

I did. Think i don't like about it is it took a great deal of time to open apps/settings/widgets. that's my gripe with most hero roms, the wait time on answering the phone, opening up a map when i need it open and flipping through multiple settings.
Hero over's nice, but supermagic just stomped it when it came to snappyness in between different apps and things of that sort.
Maybe i did something wrong in the settings, i'll probably give it a try. I've tried alot of roms, it's possible i might've made a setup mistake.

Devs had both jumped out or stopped their work on 32B SenseRoms...
One thing amazes me: Why on the Hell doesn´t HTC put a Donut or Eclair Update into their 32a Magics?
Since it all keeps the same, no one seems to relaunch the dev-party...

I might be wrong about hero_over´s ROM, but I first abandoned it due to battery problems, and afterwards I return to it after some positive comments and noticed that the very same problems kept going. Then I tried pulling some widgets out of my home screen, and now battery lasts for two days of normal use: Music Widget was the cause.
Arguably the fastest and balanced Sense Rom out there, Mlign´s 3.0 was my last try, nothing kept my attention.
I´ll take it for a round...
Poll battle is a fierce one on the top
PD: Updated links

Qtek´s is the most reliable, the latest 2.2 version lacks swap management, wait a little for Qtek´s work to finished and you´ll had the fastest Rom in there:
Until then I keep using Herver´s, and appart from a few battery nightmares, the rom is reasonably fast, so it´s easely recomendable.

Not sure it should be some kind of competition, but if it is about giving a shout out to a dev's ROM that has really impressed then I've got to say;
Hero_over
I've had this ROM on my phone since last friday and I haven't had a FC, home restart or noticeable slow down even yet! No other Hero ROM has given me that, nor have I been able to keep any other Hero ROM on the phone for more than a couple of days. I tried multiple different Hero ROMs but day-to-day useability just wasn't there if I was being honest with myself. I gave up on Hero on the 32b and went to CM, I used his and upgraded right up to the latest 4.2.5 with Enoch as a theme. That ROM is seriously fast, yet Hero_over hasn't suffered in comparison. A friend has a Hero and we couldn't see any difference in use, can't say fairer than that.
The only thing I haven't got working is BT, but I haven't tried a headset and I haven't really investigated any soultions in the thread as I don't use BT.

I switch between different sense ui ROM. Now, I found a ROM made for G1 but also compatible with MT3G. It runs smoothly on my 32B device.
You guys might want to try it.

That´s a good ROM based on Drizzy´s...yet you should know that Vodafone 32b´s have some isues with graphics as well as some unspected reboots.
PD: I´m downloading Qtek´s latest version 2.3: Link updated.

How come ttran001's newest rom is not in this list? I think it's an awesome rom. Incredibly stable, pretty snappy, and it's just as good as Qtek's in my opinion. It should be updated.

Rogers G1 2.1 Update for the T-Mobile G1?

Can the 2.1 version for Rogers can put onto the T-Mobile version of the HTC Magic or will it be problematic?

Looks like it works on 32a

Come On Dudes! Do It! A Magic Sense Rom must run good on the G1!

Maybe somebody could replace the Sense UI for the Android original. The hardware is not so different, just a little bit more memory.
I want this ROM ported to HTC Magic 32B because since Android 2.x we always have memory leaks in the camera driver.

I definitely want this ported!

I definitely want this ported too! Especially if it finally bring Sense to the G1 without draining our battery in less than day. Or in another cases requires so many changes that it becomes too unstable.

this is definitely possible. Most people Dont know that the cause for battery drain is a combination of:
1. swap
2. "optimized kernels"
These both exist to make sense roms usable on our phones, and they do make them usable but they drain battery.
the only advantage that this 32a build with sense may have is optimizations of the apk's and frameworks that could account for a speedier experience, and therefore introduce the possibility of cutting down on the two factors listed above.
It is very possible to do, and in fact easy. If the demand is high enough, i'll do it myself... add ideas/input here.

I definitely am up for a port

Another thing to remember is that 32A's have about 100 mb more ram, so 32B's actually need some of those things to make them more usable. Anybody know anything about the radio that released with it? I mean, is it still a locked down 3.X rogers radio, or is it something 2.X, or even 6.X? Another thing of interest would be bluetooth, but I'm not sure if 32A's and B's share the same bluetooth chip. +1 for the port jcarzz, I would try it myself but I'm still learning. We should also try to extract the camara drivers, the way I understand it in CM5/6 we're using a hacky method with backported donut drivers and a few other things. We could really pull a lot from this.
Okay, so I looked a few things up and answered some of my own questions. It does include a new radio 6.35.16.19, but it's not something we can use. Maybe some of the guys who have JTAG equipment can experiment with flashing it. Since it's not a G1 radio we shouldn't get bluetooth working so cross that off the list too. Still a promising release though.

No, just like all the early 1.5 Hero roms that were from 32a phone... no Bluetooth.

Hehe I figured so, but I wasn't rooted yet when all the hero rom's started coming out so I didn't know that til now. And I looked through cyanogen's twitter and he mentioned that the camera drivers were tied to the radio so we can't pull that from it either. GL on porting it.

Welcome Back!
My first sugestion was to say delete FB account (alongwith with any others that you have like twitter etc) but,t it douns like you've already done that
so my only suggestion left, is delete Google account - which means starting again - as this is same as full reset!
Good Luck

You could always:
take a nandroid backup
perform the full-reset
test to see of problem is resolved (enter only google and facebook sync'ing details)
restore backup - until such a point that you have the time to reset up your phone
At least that way you'd know if that will help!

@olyloh6696 i have the same problem 2,but it doesn't affect me much as i flash different ROMs often
but try a cache+davlik cache wipe before doing a full reset

Thanks guys I notcied in my people app, I get no pictures at all, but when i get a phone call, or text, the picture comes up :S whichis weird
Also when I add a person to the people widget, their pic comes up. Strange... It's not coming in the people tab.. I will try doing a reset in the next few days...

Hello, Going totally off topic here...But...(figured this one was closed for now)
Have either of you two tried this [ROM] [16 SEP] Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 [v1.1 STABLE][Official Desire S ROM] yet? I have and it's great, apart from a few small cosmetic issues that can be easily overlooked and don't really effect use - it appears to be fully functional.
I never previously liked any of the the re-sized Sense 3.0 ROMS (like Virtious Unity) and even though I flash most of the Sense 3.0 add-ons to the LBC base I don't use the 3-D Rosie launcher, but by comparison this one is great - as if it's literally made for our device In fact I'm so impressed that I'm having a hard time in deciding whether to use this or LBC as my daily ROM.
Hopefully, LBC will take this (or ideally the next more polished leak of the same thing) and use this as the base for LBC v0.7.0 As this needs the a little attention and tweaking to get the best out of it. Its very close to LBC on battery usage and runs just as fast - even with the 3D launcher.
Thoughts? Comments?
ps
then of course there's always [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]

bit of a work around, but try the free app syncmypix on market, works v well when the facebook app fails

Hi Ben, I tried 0.8 version of that ROM last week. Not tried the new ones. My first impressions were, I liked the stock look and feel, but sadly i found the ROM to be slow and unresponsive. Wow, I wonder if 1.1 is fast! If it is as fast as you say, I'm quite tempted to switch from 2.1 sense! Never tested battery as I just played with the ROM for about 15 minutes. I'm just waiting for the official 3.5 sense build (hopefully) which can be optimised for stock modified performance roms (I.e - lbc mod)
Because I hear 3.5 was desgined for single core, whereas 3.0 is for dual core... So I'm quite reluctant to switch!
Atm, I'm rocking out leedroid with sense 2.1+3.0 mix very satisfied desire s user! (Especially since solving my issue!)
I think I may consider going back to lbc. Because I had a increased battety drainage on roms with my old battery, but now , with the new battery replacement from HTC, its lasting me real good
What about you? Have you decided to move from lbc to sense 3.0?

I'm currently swaying between the two...as there's been a recent lack of progress and even contact with LBC (I imagine that he's got a lot of work on), not that I can blame him as he's a one man band (with a family) whereas some of the other groups appear to be larger and multi-skilled and therefore have far more production time.
Currently, I've got a couple of ROMS the v1.2 Sense 3.0 one and what I regard as "old-faithful"/LBC and I'm simply using one, then backing it up and restoring the other then continuing like that ever few days.....watching whats happening elsewhere....
I didn't know that bit about sense 3.5 being designed for single core... which is promising although the leak sense v3.0 is from HTC for the saga so suggests it will be on our official OTA upgrade patch....It would be good to get that ROM optimized and tweaked as all good customs are....not just STOCK which is roughly what it is now.
Saying that I'm about to give [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5] a go as it looks like its been tweaked for performance with the latest versions by the Desire HD devs...
Although it's ultimately designed for a larger screen size and I always felt that the shrunken sense experience don't look as sweet - we will see if this one looks better.
Either way looks like a good future! I'd prefer more options then less.

Yeh personal life is more important, so we can respect lbc is busy.
I read about 3.5 being for single core somewhere... Because it is leaked from the bliss (800mhz device) and dhd users report it being smoother, snappier, and a lighter UI to 3.0. When the custom roms for 3.5 start popping up, I'll be glad to give them a go , for now, pretty satisfied with Sense 2.1+3.0 mix.
So is proxusers 1.1 sense 3.0 ROM as smooth / fast as lbc? Especially that is only a leaked stock ROM, imagine an optimised version by our devs of that ROM!
Please let me know (in the ROM thread) how you are finding that 3.5 sense ROM. I haven't tried it myself, as I'm quite busy atm, and don't have much free time! Would really like to see whether it really us smoother and better optimised than the 3.0 sense..
Cheers mate!

Hello, Going totally off topic here...But...(figured this one was closed for now)
Have either of you two tried this [ROM] [16 SEP] Desires S Android 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 [v1.1 STABLE][Official Desire S ROM] yet? I have and it's great, apart from a few small cosmetic issues that can be easily overlooked and don't really effect use - it appears to be fully functional.
I never previously liked any of the the re-sized Sense 3.0 ROMS (like Virtious Unity) and even though I flash most of the Sense 3.0 add-ons to the LBC base I don't use the 3-D Rosie launcher, but by comparison this one is great - as if it's literally made for our device In fact I'm so impressed that I'm having a hard time in deciding whether to use this or LBC as my daily ROM.
Hopefully, LBC will take this (or ideally the next more polished leak of the same thing) and use this as the base for LBC v0.7.0 As this needs the a little attention and tweaking to get the best out of it. Its very close to LBC on battery usage and runs just as fast - even with the 3D launcher.
Thoughts? Comments?
ps
then of course there's always [ROM][17 SEP]RCMix3d Runny S v1.2 [Official runnymede sense 3.5 Android 2.3.5]

i tried Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 {v0.8} sometime back & i found it a little slow compared to vu & also i didn't like the widget size,i prefer the size from vu
so i switched back to vu for my daily use,i would really like to try v1.1 as i heard its a lot faster
i would also like to try sense 3.5 but i think i will wait till there is a full release
(i tired the bliss version & i liked the animations a lot)
i am unable to test many ROMs as my life is sucking all my free time
can anyone who tried sense 3.5 from runnymede tell me if there is much difference from the bliss version?(other than the menu button bar)

From what I gather there us a massive difference, bliss is intended as sense for girls, where's the new 3.5 Runnymede had been referred to as mans sense the full experience, I'm planning on giving it a whirl later it came out too late last night and I wanted to ensure that there were no significant issues before I have it a whirl, from what I've read the latest version has been tweaked big time so is a great deal slicker as the desire hd devs have put all their normal tweaks and hacks in.
Although I'm currently really enjoying the sense 3.0 leak for desire, it's fast and every thing works although needs a Dev to add tweaks and hacks to make it great, hoping LBC well take this as I his next base and make it slick and improve it or else might be tempted to have a go myself as would like to learn some more Dev stuff
EDIT:
Although apparently after I went to bed apparently another ROM has been released and proxuser have ported it already, this is based on sense 3 leak but tweaked
and improved by the desire hd devs (so wishes do come true ) Its called RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 will be loading that now! literally spoilt for choice!

Wow! Proxuser is doing a fine job here! We gave many roms to choose from now!
Just out of curiousity, what exactly would you like the dev (lbc) to tweak and modify the ROM by?
I'm quite tempted myself to try this new ROM!
Sense 3.5 Runnymede is for men haha! Lol, I never knew that!
But runnymede is a 4.7" 1.5Ghz dual core phone!
So will runnymede sense be as smooth as bliss sense??

yeah proxuser is doing awsome
i dont think Runnymede is dualcore
this leaked specs say that its single core
im interested in knowing what ROM cooks tweak to make the rom faster(is it build.prop & init.d? if it is then i have some experience )

Oh Yeh! It's not dual core! I misread it! It is actually single core 1.5ghz with the exact same CPU model as our desire s! So it should run fine on ours !
Yeh, I would like to know what makes roms optimised and tweaked faster!

Yes, as far as I know that's it and use UOT to pretty it up and theme so it has its own look and feel, but I'm just learning! so know nothing really of this side, so also want to gain some experience in it myself.

What we need is LBC (or another dev like him) with the same improved stock philosophy - which is what I like anyway. Someone that just improves and slickens the stock experience (with the same care and love that LBC puts in) but, possible changes the base to either Sense3.0 for saga now that that's out (even though it's leaked) or maybe even 3.5 but it's too early for that. But either way use Android 2.3.5.
Just the above normal tweaks, hacks and organisations that are always missing from stock, plus cut out all the un-needed crap applications and some of the useless HTC stock stuff that's just never used and eats CPU/memory and bandwidth!.
I'm still yet to try Runnymede, so can't really comment although when I have time I'll give it a go. Although as it's designed for a large screen will be fearful that it will look cut-down and re-sized.
But, Bliss is certainly cut down version (for girls! ) so I'm not interested and will avoid (unless I hear wonderful things).
Going to give this a go in next hour or so.. RCMIX3D_VoidU_v1.1 (even though its only sense 3.0 and just watch what happens with the sense 3.5 ROMS.

As far as what speeds up ROMS I added some TWEAKS threads along with a DEVELOPMENT GUIDE section to the Dev INDEX thread that I maintain the other day and would happily add more if anyone finds any suitable reference or resources.

Well I'm about to try the 3.0 dhd port as it sounds like the first proxuser sense3.0 leaked ROM just tweaked.
I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure if you need the new HBOOT? the method of getting new hboot also depends on if your S-OFF'd via XTC or AlpharevX, there are a couple of threads on this subject, so I'd suggest that you give them a read
I have it hboot. You could possibly ask in the ROM thread?

try the dhd port proxuser says its faster & bug free for now(he said he will update the DS version with tweaks soon )
i dont think you need new hboot

[Q] (Q) Best sense 4.0 or ics sense 3.0 rom to use??

Just wondering which rom may be the most stable when it comesto ics and sense

As far as sense goes I think rooted stock or mik ROM is the only ones for that as for jb there is lots of ROMs out there I'm currently using official CyanogenMod preview 7 and I love it. Fast smooth stable but I would recommend you just try them all

sun_dream ported several ROMs, an ICS with Sense4 and Sense4.1a, as well as an ICS with Sense3.6. I never could get the Sense4 ROMs to work reliably on my phone, especially the headset audio (it is extremely picky about which earplugs it will accept). His ICS 4.0.3 ROM with Sense3.6, however, worked reasonably well for me, has great audio. There are two versions of it, one is based on Sensation 3.3.2, other is 3.3.3. I found the 3.3.2 to be the more stable and fluid with really good battery life. My only issue with it was sometimes data would drop off unexpectedly. It would come back usually on its own, but sometimes you'd have to toggle airplane mode to get it back. An annoyance. Also, there was a Gallery issue with it FC'ing. But, I solved that by ripping Gallery out of another Sense3.6 ROM and pushing it to my phone. You can read about that in the ROM's thread in the Dev forum.
But really, for overall stability and a ROM where everything works like it is supposed to work without having to jiggle and toggle and stand on your head or sacrifice chickens, Miktouch is the one I use every day. I do like the features of ICS and especially those of the new JB ROMs. But, this is my only phone and must work 100% 100% of the time.

Yes I must agree I use mik sense 3.0 cause its most reloable as of right now and everything works. Baytery lofe is not bad for sense also. Dont get me wrong I love cm roms bit need more stability also I hope cm based roms fix the video out.
EDIT: can someone post me links to some customizations for mik 3.0 would be greatly appreciated.

No one can answer this question correctly except you. Try the various ROMs available to you and decide which one is best for you.
