Rom advice sought - HTC Desire S

Hi Guys, I'm looking for a nice clean fast rom with a stock kernal that will allow me to watch sky go.
The only pre-requisite is that it should have the volume wake tweak as my power button is broken.
For months I have been loving the plethora of roms to choose from, with miui my favourite, but now I'm having difficulty with the fact there are so many

If you've been around for so long, you surely know which way to go right?
If you want a stock kernel, you've left yourself with only Sense ROMs to choose from... and you can try any of the pre-rooted Sense ROMs available (look in the INDEX - or my signature). The volume wake addition is simply a matter of replacing the android.policy.jar file on your phone with one modded for the volume wake patch (Use search and you'll find it somewhere on this forum) - easily done with a file manager with root access....
Also, apparently you don't really need root to get volume wake up.... see this post by @fox2delta : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22903125&postcount=4 who uses a combination of golocker+golauncherEX+widgetlocker to get the same thing.
Happy hunting!

[MOD] For WildHeroc Sense 2.3.3

Please Note: This mod is only for WildHeroc Sense 2.3.3 not for any other ROM.
These are flashable zip via CWM recovery.
No GPS/Location icon and Battery Mod
Here
Removed End Call
This disabled the End call button while phone is in use. I like this option because it does not disconnect phone call accidentally with your face. I had this option on Sense 2.1 when JsChiSurf did the mod. I took the same concept on WildHeroc which is Sense 2.3.3.
To End the call you simple press the End call button
Note: I haven't had time to modified the png file for End call due to .9 png file. This required couple of tools I need to install on my computer which I didn't had time to install today. So color is still red as you can see. As time permit I will update during this week.
Any issue please report here. I will response within a day. I would like to keep WildHero Rom thread clean from any issue with these two mod.
I'm currently running this two mode on my phone so I don't see any issue. However, if you do run in to issue after the mod, please let me know.
If you like this mod, a simple Thanks button will be appreciated.

The phone fix seems like something worth trying out cuz Im tired of holding my hero away from my face during a call
Thanks for the mods, these are going to come in handy!

A ROM with all the following

Ok Guys, Its my first post here but I have been lurking around here for quite some time, so I wont be as annoying as most noobs I guess
Anyway, I've tried many different ROMs on my captivate and I find all of them to be pretty good but I am yet to find one which packs all the goodies I want. They are not too much to ask for IMO. I need your advice and suggestions on this.
I want a ROM with the following in it:
-Extended Power menu(Recovery, Download)
-Touchwiz4 or Touchwiz4.5 launcher
-Gpsfix
-SuperUser Enabled
-ICS boot animation
-ICS themed( but wiht TW4)
-Some Tweaks for more battery life
- Some cool lockscreens(Preferably the ICS lock should be there)
- Shouldn't scoop up too much of memory( In some roms I couldn't get more than 120mb free RAM even in idle state. I want at least 170mb free)

Unfortunately, no one can tell you whats good for you. The only way to go about this is to read. From your questions, it appears that you dont appear too noob So, read the OP and last couple of pages of the threads. They should give a fair idea if anyone is facing any particular issues.
On side note; it appears KK4 source code has been released. So you may want to wait for some time before the magicians (Read: developers) wind their magic for ROMs and kernels.
If none of the roms have all the features...find one with the hardest to do (lock screen for example) and then add the rest in yourself.
This is xda...a place not only to download cool stuff..but also a place to learn how to do things yourself.
Like saying it needs to have a certain boot animation and launcher, that is EASILY changed.
I have found Fasty lll a real nice rom if you haven't tried it yet give it a shot. All you can do is try them to see if you like them.

I've flashed MANY different ROM's, and not a single one has given me exactly what I wanted for features(Quite frankly, it's not the Dev's duty to fulfil my every wish). So what you end up with is, find a ROM that has as many of the most important features for you, that aren't apk related, load it, and modify it to suit your needs.
Truely, that is the best you're going to get. There are SO many different options available that it would be near imposible to find one that hits each and every thing on your list.......UNLESS you build the ROM yourself, and you can then cook it to suit your needs
No single ROM can fulfil your every desire...every rom has its highlights and low points but miui is better but u need to look for a touchwiz apk and install. On the bright side miui has customizable boot screen and lock screen

Well it looks like Virtuous Infinity base with a lot of this.
But still sounds impressive. I was thinking about a port of ViperX (because it is Sense 4.1), but it will take a tremendous time on resizing...

Big respect to the Chinese devs. This is the most feature-rich Sense ROM I ever had on my phone. And everything works so far. Recommend to all.

Are you talking about the one in the OP or the one you linked to in your post?
I'll take this on recommendation and try it later for fun - even though I don't like sense and will probably just run FTL straight over the top of it

Yep the link form my post.
The tweaks are stolen from team Venom's ROM that is for One X but still the combination of Fallout base with them is just marvelous.
It has an option for AOSP lockscreen, configurable quick settings, but in a separate tab, etc. Worth checking just for the play
Can the language be set to English in the rom?

English and Chinese
But if you copy the files from the attachment to the respective folders in /system/customize, before flashing you will have all languages
The keyboard offers you to download your language when you have internet connection
And it is Sense 4.1. I am definitely keeping this as a daily. It is based on Fallout so should be less resource hungry than Virtuous Infinity (just a theory at that point)
Hint: it comes with aroma installer in Chinese but there are not much options, so just click the green button (that should be Next) and it installs. At the very first screen there are 2 options - first is to wipe dalvik+cache, second is a full wipe.Then just next...
Excellent thank you will give it a try

I tried which i have mentioned above this also very good..smooth and fast and
Venom's tweaks are out of the world.. using it from last 5 hr..feeling very good :highfive:
Hey amidabuddha they are also using your latest karnel!!!!
I think we can take permission from team Venom's ROM and post in rom section? ?
It is a mix of Fallout and Virtuous Infinity + Viper tweaks. You will have to ask a lot of people
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Oh ok then im keeping quite but our desire s user missing awesome Viper tweaks
i wish some one will develop rom with these tweaks soon..
This is showing ics 4.03...didn't sense 4.1 come updated with ics 4.04???
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Is this rom as fast as Fallout and not as slow as Virtuous sense 4?
Any chance of a mirror please? 4 days is a bit long to wait...
Here is a magnet link. Removed due to developer complaints
Added multilingual support and Fallout Tweaks in English but DO NOT use the Fallout Rosie Tweaks! Use the tweaks from settings
No full wipe required before install. When Aroma installer starts (it is in Chinese but do not worry, just press the green button - it is NEXT) on the first screen choose the second (lower) option it will make a full wipe (the first it dalvik/cache wipe)

Port some functions from Cyanogen

Hi.
Sorry if I'm posting something wrong / old or already answered, but I don't find anything about my situation.
I have a Xperia X8 with custom ROM, GingerDX. Now I'm moving to a new phone, and it don't have any type of custom rom, Cyanogen support, or even a device near to it, to try porting a ROM.
Following this guide, I cook a ROM to suit my needs.
But, obviously, some nice features from GingerDX/Cyanogen are missing. I don't wanna go to ICS, I just wanna some features and a very clean and small ROM.
So, I'm asking where I can get information about porting (or create) specific features from GingerDX/Cyanogen to my device. Not a full ROM, only some of these features are:
Fast copy and paste
Keyboard lights control
Number of apps in recent list
Long press menu to open a search
Long press back to kill an app
Music control even with phone locked (next song / previous song by holding volume keys)
Shutdown menu (restart, recovery, etc)
Notification power widget
Clock to show 00:00 instead 00h00 (is a 'h' in the middle)
Contacts to show format number 0000-0000 instead 00-000-000
Compact carrier label
Center clock on lockscreen
Notification focus
Music volume not attenuated by notifications
And some others I don't remember. I know, will be a hard job, but I'm not affraid to learn. If I made my own custom ROM, I beliave I can install these features... I just must have a start point, and some sugestions from devs to do this (i.e: remove unnecessary resources like languages, images inside apks, HDPI and LDPI images and codes). Maybe if you point this for me, other users can use the same to install these features on their phones without Cyanogen support.
Or another strategy to make a good custom ROM, even without Cyanogen offical support...
Thanks a lot!!
Nobody??

[Q] Need a few adjustments on my GN5

Hi!
Please, could you recommend some applications and/or ROM which could help me achieve these things on my Nexus 5?
1. I'd like more customizable Android overall (guess any more advanced custom ROM would achieve it?).
2. A use for the drop-down top menu (or what it is called), from my old HTC I'm used it to show recent apps, however a brightness slider there would be also nice.
3. Customizable home-button pressed menu.
4. Long-pressed back button=menu.
Thanks
Most of the roms have the above features you have mentioned. Head over to Development section and select a rom which suits you the best.
Discussing/comparing roms/kernels isn't allowed over here, so you will have to try it out yourself!
