[ROM] Stock 2.50.405.2 - With Root

Here is the latest Official HTC ROM - 2.50.405.2
Contents
2.50.405.2
Root (SU)
Thats It.
Flash with ClockworkMod 3+
You will need to add your own busybox should you wish to use apps such as Titanium Backup. That can be done quite easily via the Market.
I personally don't like HTC Sense , but I wanted to try the latest 2.50 base. So I though I'd share.
I don't envisage updating this ROM with features as I just want to try Stock HTC Sense. If it contains bugs then HTC put them there.

Thanks for rooted ruu

Any notable changes in these latest bases?

Apparently there are some fixes to wifi, gps, mobile networks and bluetooth.
The interface remains the same.

Not that I can tell.
The camera still has a pink tinge to the centre of your photos.
It's got until Friday to convert me back to Sense.

You tried android revolution?, I think sense is great.

I have, I've not tried any ARHD releases for a while now though. My personal take on Sense is that it's too bloated. I'd like to see what features HTC cut from the Desire Gingerbread update to get the size down. Perhaps then I may try port that.
If Paradoxxx can cut CM7 down to 53MB and everything works great, what are HTC adding with the extra 200MB?
I am quite impressed with this 2.50 base though.
Its quick, pretty snappy moving between menus/apps. And the I've not come across any bugs or FC's. Battery life is very good, only dropped 14% from 7AM to 5PM with light usage. Seems like a good release from HTC.
It's still not convinced me yet.

deodex-patch where?

Can I Flash This on my Inspire

Spanish
no spanish?

There is no deodex patch as it is a Stock, emphasis on the word "Stock", ROM.
I Don't see why you can't try this on your Inspire, just make a backup beforehand.
I believe this ROM supports Spanish.

Thanks for this matey, very handy.

connot connet to htc sens account, any ideas?

Contact HTC, I offer no support with this ROM.
Its rooted, that's it. No mods, no addons.
If something doesn't work, then HTC broke it.

[Q] best ROM ?

which is best custom rom for HTC D s ??
Stable for daily use
Good battery life
fast performance
No bugs

Best... hmmm, that's quiet personal.
I tried LBC Saga 0.5.3 which worked very good, but because off some minor issues (probably my own faults) I changed to Virtuous Unity 1.27...
So if you ask me --> beautiful sense 3.0, no lag/very smooth, better batterylife than stock, ... = Virtuous Unity 1.29!
However, like I mentioned, LBC Saga Mod is also a very good ROM...
Try them both out for a few days and see for yourself!

It's personal indeed but I think the Virtuous Unity ROM is the most stable version.

try miui

I really like Cyanogen on my old bravo desire. There is an unofficial port for the new saga desire, but I read it has GPS issues. I use my GPS daily so like the OP, I am wondering the best custom rom that has NO BUGS.
Going to try this virtuous one everyone is raving about.

Virtuous 1.29 and MIUI!
I've tried all the ROMS for Desire S and for me Virtuous 1.29 is the perfect ROM for our desire S! I love the full sense 3.0 experience!
MUIU rom is also great but it's not yet stable.

Ok, i tried virtuous 1.29 based on recommendations in this thread and others. I really like the look and feel. Could easily get used to it.
Some major issues restoring my backups though. A lot of the apps just won't work once restored, just get a force close button. Perhaps cos I am restoring from Cyanogen which I think was A2SD+ enabled? Would that cause issues?

OK, FIRST,Since you say NO BUGS, Don't try MIUI or CM7
For your first ROM, I'd recommend LBC Mod, the Dev provides a lot of support, it's close to stock and has all the best parts of Sense 3.
After that,Try Virtuous Unity.

Virtuous Unity ROM. Only bug I have faced is voice search does not work. Apart from that, it's perfect.

I've played about with LBC, Cordroid but have settled on Virtuous Unity.
To me it's just more stable but that's just my personal opinion.

The solution to voice search problem for Virtuous Unity v1.31.0 ROM
If your voice search does not work on Desire S for VU v1.31.0 ROM,
you may try the following steps.
1. extra the following three files from "/system/lib" in saga_lbc_mod_v0.5.3-full ROM:
libaudio.so
libhtc_acoustic.so
libvoicesearch.so
2. use the three files to replace your files in /system/lib/ on your Desire S.
3. reboot
it work for me.
good lucky!!

I use LBC and am aware of no bugs within it (that don't occur across all ROMs).
I've tried the other ROMs but always end up coming back to LBC.
IMO it's perfect, has Sense, is fast, decent battery life, it's close to stock and has good user and developer support and regular upgrades...

I tried Virtuous as my first custom ROM but didn't like the 3D homescreen. Also it feels laggy and some things look weird from the 16:9 to 15:9 resizing. Maybe it's fixed in the newer versions i don't know.
So i tried LBC since it's still using the 2.1 launcher. Had a couple of stability issues but it's fixed by using stock kernel. Now it's rock solid.

I didn't like the 3D Homescreen, too. Right now I'm back on rooted Stock ROM. For me the most useful ROM was LBC with update 0.54. Will try this again with stock kernel an new radio.
I tried Virtuous yesterday but for me is has now good battery life (though there are other oppinions) and, but I'm not shure, the camera app isn't working well indoors. Made some pictures and I think the stock app works better.

used lbc mod and virtous today. going back to stock.
Great ROM,
Dont really like the customizations on lbc.

most of the customization on LBC rom can be removed easily
& custom ROMs take more RAM to make the device faster
after flashing a ROM you need to give it some time to see it at its full speed as it take time for the rom to setup things,give it a day or so
if you want animations you can try spare parts+ & anim mod(paid,you can also get this effect from uot kitchen)

i got bored and decided to try out all the roms and the only one i could see myself using was cyanogenmod. I think most the roms are stable so it's just about personal preference.

Any suggestions for good roms for the mytouch4g

Well I'm not asking for the best roms but, just some roms that you think are good for the mytouch 4g. I really do like the style of the ics but it is still in beta version (for the mytouch 4g) and I would rather just wait until the majority of the bugs have been fixed. There are just so many roms I really don't know which ones to pick from. I've tried the Cm7 but I had some problems with the mms on it unfortunately. SO i had to get rid of it.
But anyway. Does anyone have some suggestions on some roms that they like on their mytouch 4g? I don't really know which ones to pick from thanks.
and please provide a link to the roms download page as well, if you can.
thank you

Virtuous Unity 2.39
But here's what you do:
1. Ensure you have the latest Gingerbread radio
2. Do a full wipe and install Virtuous Unity
2. Download Root Explorer
3. Download GO Launcher EX
4. Set Go Launcher as the default launcher
5. Using Root Explorer, remove all Sense, widgets, themes, and other bloat you don't need from /data/app AND /system/app.
You will now have the fastest, and most stable ROM available.

I second both those 2 answers but since you tried CM7, you could now try some sense ROMs like Darkside 4 or Unity, then perhaps MiUI.
Currently running CM7.2 and liking it. Love Darkside Sense too. VUnity and Affinity are good as well, for starters ...Liked MIUI too ...
I might suggest another way to clean up for Sense ROMs is to use ROMCleaner, which is handy ...

is ICS good enough to be a daily driver though? Other than the camera problems, are there random reboots or music playback problems? I have ICS on my Samsung Vibrant and am thinking about jumping ship to the mytouch/panache for the extra 256mb of RAM...
worth it?
edit: meant to be a reply to post #13... dunno how to quote a post after the fact

Wait a few days here, there is a giant update coming out soon with the camera working and various bug fixes. But I get relatively few crashes. Some of which I'm sure are because of my beta nova launcher.

The most stable rom?

Hi all.
I realize there are loads of ics roms being developed for our device. I thank the devs for putting so much effort to keep our devices worth having. But I need some advice on finding a stable rom for daily use. (Texting, camera, gaming). I have used all the ics roms on our forum and experienced multiple freezes and reboots while on my daily usage.
I was wondering which rom is the most stable yet useful in terms of functionality at the moment.

Sense 3 or Sense 3.5 Gingerbread ROMs are your answer.

Reaper for me. It doesn't have all the functionality that Endy does built-in, but you can add what you need easily enough. And it is seriously fast

To me, there is really difference between all the different sense 4 Roms...
Excluding the themes.
Insertcoin seems the most stable n no bugs or twitches.

If i haven't understand it wrong, OrDroid and InsertCoin became CoinDroid, after some development the name changed to OrDroid again, next became PkMn and last ViperS, so if you want the best Sense 4 rom experience i wil go with ViperS..

Mmm is this true ?
I tried viper s but it doesn't have a lot of tweaks that insertcoin has when first installing in aroma

ViperS has a big Tweaks App after flashing.
You can customize a lot.
Best Sense 4 from at the moment.

Elegancia because I really like the theming. Well except for the statusbar icons, but I replaced those with stock and all is good. The rest of the framework looks amazing!
I tried ViperS briefly, but really missed the Elegancia look.

I've tried both Elegancia and ViperS. I prefer the ViperS rom. It has a lot more tweak to sense 4, like infinite scrolling. Although I do like the theming on Elegancia a bit better. I haven't had any major bugs with either and the both have pretty good battery life.

ViperS ROM with overclocked 1.4.1 kernel seem to be very good for me so far! Fast & smooth and lots of tweaks!

Viper is what I'm using. I really like it. It has many tweaks and even ota (over the air) updates for the Rom! I believe it's the only Rom that does the ota updates. Makes installing a upgrade very simple. When the update comes out you simply download over the air . No need for the computer. This is a wonderful feature.

Ahem, just pointing out my Sense 3.6 ROM has had OTA updates since version 3 - about 6 months ago
Fair enough its through an app and not intergrated into the OS but if m0narx would share how he does it (yeah he posted a thread about it a while back but the hack he posted back then doesnt work properly as it does in viper rom) then it would be intergrated

VipersS is pretty stable and smooth, lots of customizations. It could use more speed, updates are getting slower though.

The next update will include speed increases, or so venom hub says. And the updates are getting slower too because it's pretty damn stable with a mountain of tweaks. Speed increases and bugfixes are all that's left to add to it really, maybe some more tweaks. It couldn't be more of a complete ROM if you tried. HTC could certainly learn a thing or two from team Venom, makes a big global corp. look like a bunch of amateur devs who toss out the first thing that "works".

Oh it's one hell of a rom of course, & it has been, even back when Venom was called Team Pokemon. And I guess I have been a little spoiled with these Sense 4 rom updates

You can't get WiFi to function normally because you switched the kernel to faux. On the first page of the Rom the developer gives a warning to NOT switch kernels as it can lead to WiFi issues . If you want WiFi working again wipe and re flash the Rom but use the kernel that came with the Rom and you will have both WiFi AND hotspot tethering working as it should . Hope this helps! Best wishes.
