Hi all,
i'm new to this whole ROM and Flashing thing so sry for maybe stupid questions.
ATM my Sensation works with the stock ROM and no Mods but i sometimes got serious performance probs like laggs in closing or opening apps or go through the app list or mails.
I thought that probably a custom ROM could solve this problems cause most guys tell me they got a better performance with a custom ROM and a better battery life.
Most intersting ROM to me is Insert Coin atm but i read there could be issues with Exchange-Servers for Mail.
Maybe anyone could give me an advice if a custom ROM is a good idea or not.
Btw i am a noob in the ROM / Flash thing but im working in the IT business so i think i am not a noob in this at all and should learn fast! ;o)
i don't use exchange mail, but i recently rooted and installed insertcoin and it in indeed faster...i also used insertcoin on my desire and I've always enjoyed his roms
if you don't like it you can always go back to stock
On custom ROM you can do more than on stock. Generaly performance, battery life increase with custom.
There are more users of custom ROMS so support is better on this forum. Life is too short to use stock ROM

Hi all. I've got my O3D coming tomorrow and want to root it and install a different rom but not sure what to go for. I've had a look around and I'm interested in the ThiaiZO3D rom along with the v6 supercharger. I've currently got a hannspree hannspad tablet which I've modded with CWM and custom rom so I'm familiar with android and Modding. My current phone at the moment is the Nokia N900 which I've also modded. Ive also had a play with my mate O3D and loved it which is the reason i bought one. Here's a few questions I would like answering please.
1) what rom is best in terms of reliability, fast and responsive?
2) will installing the tegra software work fine with a custom rom like ThiaiZO3D for example?
3) is the camera mod in the development section worth installing, also is it installed via CWM?
That's all for now.
Thank you very much. Ashley.
I think the Thiai Rom is currently good choise but.i try to test king 3d. He release v2.2 this week and i think its a great alternately to Thiai Rom.
Sorry for bad English
send from 3rd Dimension with LG Optimus 3D
1) Think ThiaiZ with V6 is the way to go. If you want to have new kernel go for Koala or King. But for me it seems ThiaiZ stock runs smoother.
2) Sorry didn't try
3) Yes and yes. Look the amazing comparison pics in its thread.
I just installed ThiaiZ yesterday and also used the v6 script but cant actually notice any difference. Swiping between screens has a little 'judder' as it scrolls, I haven't actually tried any games but overall performance seems the same.
I haven't had the phone crash yet like I did on the stock ROM; but time will tell.
seems like thaiz rom, is one of the most stable one in this forum since it is stock based. But im not upgrading to 1.5.3 anytime soon, cuz i love my stock browser too much . i think it gets the job done, simple and easy to use. might upgrade if thaiz decided to put the browser in again
How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.
Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.
Ty.

Hey guys, so I got a brand new HTC M8 and Ive been reading all of the rooting guides and such and had a few questions. After doing a search I'm not really seeing many suggestions. So after I S-off, install custom recovery, do a backup of my stock rom, and then put a permanent root on my phone, what ROM do you guys recommend to be the best? Someone out there that has tried most of them? I love to tweak so thought Id get your guys opinions. Also, do most of you use keep the stock kernel or use a custom kernel, if so which kernel do you like? Thanks guys!!!!

I've tried Almost all. For my daily driver I use cleanrom 1.3 on stock kernel atm. I don't mess much with kernels but have just browsed thru a few threads and found some kernels that do not have "official" release. Look into them as they have gotten nice reviews. Sky fall is nice for stock as well. D.h. and his GPE ROM is pretty on point with that straight google experience. I have not tried sinless yet but that has good rants for being a GPE ROM. As far as aosp they are hit or miss for my device. Play with those for your own experience. I prefer the stock sense and great battery life so since I have been following @scrosler from my past few phones and know what to expect I am partial to his creations. Good luck. Don't forget to NANDROID And thank your devs .
Hi everyone. So far i've been using Skyhigh 3.5 because this one was the most balanced one in terms of functionality, battery life, and others. It's been the only custom rom i ever tried on this rom.
But now it's laggiest than ever and i'm tired, and i don't rely on any valid warranty period. So, i'm ready to try it, as i heard that marshmallow roms are performing good and smooth. Really good news!!
Questions:
1- If i have the lastest TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the one i have), can i just install it over the skyhigh just like that? Of course, with mobile odin.
2- Will i see many difference in battery performance? I know that every full custom rom has worst battery life than, for example, a skyhigh.
3- If after a while, i prefer to go back to the skyhigh, can i just install it over the marshmallow? I ask this to avoid conflict with different bootloaders or different issues that i could find.
Thank you very much everyone!!!
Hi all,
I know this question was asked a lot of times but I was away from this community for a lot of time so I need some info.
I'm using Back-to-Note v13.1 and Arter kernel last version.
I'd like to update my device but I'm not sure what rom+kernel combo to flash.
I need stability and a really good battery life, extreme performance is not my main goal since normal one is enough.
Thanks a lot!
Stock ROM.... when do you people finally understand. If you need root, just change the kernel and stay on stock ROM. The stock ROM is the fastest and smoothest with highest battery life.
I can understand and accept your point of view but a well developed Custom ROM is way better than Stock ROM.
Right now, the only stock one I'm interested to is the official MM release!
