Desire S Rom Sizes....

Hello All, Im new to this desire S stuff, after previously having a hero, what I want to know is, some of the roms for desire S are 400mb, the proper roms are 250mb and a couple roms are around 70-120mb, why the size difference? thank you!

400+ sense roms with multi device support
250+ sense roms
70+ aosp roms

thank you my friend

well. there's no accurate sizes to roms . for example ,htc official rom is about 290MB , but miui roms generally is 80~90MB .

sense means more graphics etc so more mb and processor needed

HBOOT 2.00.2002 and CM7 nightly working?

I am currently running a CM7 nightly on my Desire S, but i'd like to try the new HTC Sense 3.0 update. So i need the new HBOOT version as i understand it, as a new partitions scheme is employed in this version which is required by the new HTC software.
Will installing HBOOT 2.00.2002 break CM7 nightly? Or will the extra partition be simply unused as it is not mounted by CM7 (so space is wasted)? Or will a completely different thing happen?
I am pretty new to modifying my android phone, so thanks in advance!

Yup, the extra partition will be unused i.e. wastage of space.

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

Lol you want us to download it and put it on your phone too?

Its Derek's 3.5 Runnymede based sense ROM. Sense handles MMS the best (IMO).
There is a link in that thread somewhere for a small mms fix. Happy hunting for that one.

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 ...
For all your linking needs.

Out of curiosity, what changed between 7.1.1 and Nightly 252 that makes all that much difference?

see signature

I used to use CM7 but then I upgraded to Creamed Glacier. It does have alot of bugs but i suggest you keep an eye on it You say CM7 doesnt work? Try a Nightly Build

I've been running VU for months and have exceptional battery life. Can easily get through an entire day without needing to recharge.
Alternatively, if you just want to remove all sense components, give this a try:

Darkside
I flashed darkside sense 4 for a weeks now and am happy with the performance, plus all of the additions on top of sense and stock android

I second that about creamed glacier. Keep an eye on it, it keeps getting better fast. I'm using v7 right now

I've been looking for something like this for a long time!
THANKS!

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.

I'll post back here when the next update is released, but you can keep an eye on it.

derefas sense4 built 7 lite
i have flashed almost all roms in the forum using custom recovery and by far flyrom v3 is the best, since was able to add overclock kernels without much issues,
sense 4 built 7 is good in matter of battery, data connectivity and keyboard(no lags), apps also opens faster
Why so much crap on its dev thread, why people not have patience and read instruction carefully as its been tested and then posted by the dev.
Derefas really rocks
just waiting for flyrom redefined... these are the roms meant for our pico gives its potential in its true way....

but still im waiting for the full release of sense 4a build 7

I am using this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178560
It's very fast and fluid,
battery life is very good
CPU is overclocked to 800 Mhz (but I think it is on 480 or 600 Mhz most of the time (almost all the time), so I guess it's safe)
There is some problem with media recognization in media player, I hope it will be fixed soon.

Sense 4 time

Ever since sense 4 build 6 has green released I haven't been able to use sense and sense modded Roms without problem. Usually the most prominent is that system ui and settings fail to install and some don't boot at all like apex sense and jaggy desire 2. So can anyone help me
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda premium

Using JaggyDzire v2 curently.Flahsed just today. TWRP 2.4.1 recovery with ext4 partition.No random reboots,smooth also played Subway surfers,Temple run 2..no glitches and the sound of JaggyDzire is the best till now.Unmatched really.No CM ROMs has a sound quite like JaggyDzire.
Some of the apps like What'sApp takes some time(5-6 seconds) to open.

I know mine is a isolated case and I don't know why am not able to use Roms. I use transcend memory card 8gb class 4
