So I'll be coming from a S***sung Craptivate after it killed its own memory, resulting in not having enough room to load a back-up or a fresh ROM after a full wipe. (Phone is actually in two pieces, divided straight across the center) I had the phone flashed with a rooted deodexed and lagfixed ROM (Paragon RC6) and undervolted and stock clock speed (1ghz). I also had a different launcher, text based icons, widgetlocker, basically nothing was "stock" about it, but that was out of need, to fix the shutdown problem, the crappy GPS, the crappy sound, the crappy speed, the crappy lag.. etc etc..
I will be buying a Desire when it is back in stock locally, hopefully with tomorrow's shipment. But I have a few questions...
How much different is everything about modding this phone? I've read the guides and the stickies, and liking the Ingersol ROM (with just a battery notification mod, would like it to be white and turn red below 15% instead of the crazy colors it does.)
I only have 3 questions really... but one or more may become more. Please bare with me.
1. It looks like to root I'd have to DOWNGRADE.. what does this downgrade affect, or is an up-to-date version flashed after the root?
2. Can anybody tell me what HTC Sense is all about? Is it the launcher? It seems like a combination of apps already out there but from HTC (Flip to silence for example). What do I lose by going with a non-sense ROM? Also I take it using Desire based ROMs don't use Sense? But why would people want to use a ROM based off a different phone altogether?
3. Gingerbread ROMs (CM7 and the like) were buggier than all hell on the Captivate. Sure it looked good (but that's theming) and was supposed to be fast, but all over the Craptivate develpment forums was posts about widgets/apps not working, not refreshing, or force closing constantly with 2.3.3. A lot of the phones functionality was lost too, like the ability to take pictures, or use it for social networking (Facebook not working..). How do the 2.3.3 ROMs take to the Inspire?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced!
You need to downgrade to get unknown sources back. HTC sense is basically a theme that designed for there phone if I'm not mistaking. The gingerbread themes here are very smooth and good. You will encounter bugs but that will always be fix from the developers

It only enables the exploit to get S-OFF (think recovery 2e from the Captivate, vs 3e which required signed update.zip's). Once done, you don't have to worry about it again. There are plenty of stock based ROM's like TPC or dilligaf for you to choose from if you so desire.

Sense is more than the launcher, it is a complete rework of the Android framework, like TouchWiz, but nowhere near as craptacular. It is actually useful. Any HTC sourced ROM will originally have Sense in it, but some HTC ROM's that say "no-sense" have a good chunk of that removed and are more like AOSP Android, but not quite all the way. Then there are other ROM's like CyanogenMod, which are based on actual Google AOSP code and have NO HTC software in them. It really is your choice which to use. I tend to flip between them. My personal favorites are CM7 and RCMixHD 5.9.4. I would flash them both to see what your preference is.

They work perfectly, with only the minorest of troubles that tend to be app specific, like the Gmail word wrap issue(which is not even a big deal at all). I haven't used a Froyo ROM in weeks.
And finally, welcome from another former Craptivate user! You will be MUCH happier with this phone.
Thanks!
In terms of stability, "snappiness" (at 1ghz clock speed), and resource consumption/management, is there a noticeable difference between Sense based, and AOSP based ROMs?
I'm also looking for decent battery life. I understand that screen on time and brightness, along with reception are the biggest consumers, but do one of the above based ROMs seem to do a better job of managing power consumption?
I am pretty weary of flashing a GB ROM just because of the numerous compatibility issues that I witnessed on the craptivate forum..
On the RCmix ROM, does it come overclocked by default? It says to use SetCPU to adjust it, so I'm assuming it runs at 1.0 ghz right off the flash? That ROM along with the theme with the white notification bar icons seems to be what I'll be flashing first. Thanks for the helpful information thus far!

The only thing about sense that really eats battery is the constant data usage of the HTC sense account, if you don't set up an account, your battery life should be rather good. As far as the gb roms they are all working very well, and you will find a small bug here and there, but all the major roms are very good daily drivers.
Most of the roms here have numorous tweaks for stability and snappiness, and you would probably be pleased with any of the major ones. I would say there is more difference between stock sense and tweaked sense than tweaked sense and no sense as far as performance goes. I ran stock for all of a few hours when I got this phone, and have been on a few roms with and without sense, and all of them have been very snappy and smooth.
Any of the major roms that support clock speed adjustments will use setcpu to adjust it, you can run at basically any speed setcpu lets you(within reason, and check the rom post for exceptions and recomendations) I currently run at a maximum of 1.5ghz on miui and my battery life is just as good as it was running 1.2ghz on android revolution.
And last but not least, don't be afraid of gingerbread here, most major bugs have been worked out and 90% of the problems posted about are due to the installer, not the rom.
Welcome aboard!

Just an add on note:
Gingerbread sense ROMs do not have overclocking right now. But really they are so butter smooth especially when compared to a captivate. RCMix5.9.3 has no compatibility issues I have found.

Yep they are GB. There is also Ultimate Droid, which I am using now. This is the best ROM I have used so far, but all of them have been rock solid as far as performance goes. I don't think you will find a bad ROM on here. You will recognize some of the devs from the captivate forums.
As for my battery life. I have been unplugged for just over 15hrs and I am down to 21%. That is with 2 push email accounts, 3 hours streaming rhapsody, 2 hours mp3 music, 30 mins of calls, and about 1 hour of browsing/gaming. It also helps that I am on wifi for 90% of the day.

Are there any benefits of going with the GB version of RCmix versus the Froyo version? Basically I don't feel comfortable flashing an OS not designed for the device so I'm leaning towards the Froyo based version of that ROM.

I've gotten better performance out of the GB ROMs I have used. I believe that ROM is based off the leaked GB for the Desire HD which is the same thing as the Inspire, so you shouldn't have any worries about it not being designed for this phone.

I can't really say much about stock since ics isn't out yet for i9020, but I definitely prefer custom gingerbread over custom ics. OXYGEN has been fast and rock stable for me, whereas all the ics roms I've tried have given me short battery life and many crashes.
I definitely prefer the appearance and functions of ics though

what base versiom should i use? Wat gingerbread version
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
thats easy
ICS without any doubt. The phone feels a lot faster, my battery life is better in ICS then in GB, ICS is polished and beautiful, some new apps only work on android 4.0, the new OS has some good built in functions, like 3G data monitor, you can now make panoramas without a 3rd app, etc.
If looking at stock roms, then ICS for sure. Much more efficient usage of RAM, multi-tasking which allows me to close out apps I have open. It looks clean and nice color scheme. Also Holo (font) is freaking awesome. The new ICS widgets are also nice. Calendar and gmail have been improved.
I haven't played around with the various ICS ROMs yet to compare those.
GB. ICS is slow opening apps. Also the transitions look more polished but at the expense of snappiness. I flashed back to GB stock to do some things on the phone and I am noticing how fast GB is.
I would say ICS (not stock). Currently running nuhetri v3.0.1 with AirKernel with voodoo colors and I definitely like it more than GB. No problems with this ROM and it has a great performance and battery life.
But the question is about the stock roms, not the customs roms....
For me is GB, is more faster and don´t have so many lag...
It's kind of weird that a lot of people are saying that GB is a lot faster than ICS. At least on my experience, ICS is much more fast and smooth compared to GB.

Any stock based 2.1 rom will be the most stable and easiest to install. Gingerbread rock or killasense are extremly stable and great battery life with imo 5.2 gb sense kernel. Everything works perfectly on both roms. For me, aosp roms take too much effort to just get gps working. If i would have wanted stock android, i would have bought a different phone. I spend too much time with aosp making it look like sense.

I really like Sense but fell in love with LiquidSmooth. It's made me a fan of AOSP.
However, I also find it funny that out of like 7 responses there were 6 different ROMs mentioned. Kind of how it goes and just goes to show you that you'll have to try a few before you find one you like. If sense is what you want, try SOAB. AOSP, try Liquid Smooth. Then go from there...chances are you'll go back to one of those two I would think.

If you like Sense it's a great ROM. If you are impartial to Sense or don't like Sense then there is no reason to not run an AOSP ROM that I can think of. The performance and battery life on Sense ROMs don't even compare to that of AOSP ROMs on the TBolt.

Thundershed 1.4 for me. I used to change Roms at least every week. I just run Thundershed now - great work and the developer (Workshed) has been steadily updating the Rom.
I'm currently on the Bugless Beast ROM, and it is very stable and pretty much like the name says without bugs, I have yet to have a problem with it.
However I have been thinking of going to MIUI, but I don't know how stable and/or fast it would be compared to my current ROM.
So what is your opinion?
Anyone know?
Almost-stable but..
Too low available memory and low speed makes me use CM9.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
MIUI is not as stable as the ics roms. I sometimes get lag such as the MIUI locker. There is still lots of bug. But it is stable enough for daily use.
But the recent update makes the contacts in small photos. So i switch back to codename android rom.
You can give it a try.

Thanks, I guess I'll just say with BB, I like ROMs fast and as stable as possible.
Although, according to the ICS ROM Benchmarks Nexus S List, there are two MIUI ROMs in the top five. Catalyst MIUI, one of my favorite ROMs, is a bit laggy. Perhaps, because it has Force GPU Rendering and Keep Launcher in Memory checked but then again I haven't tried it with those settings unchecked.
I would give it a try. It is really a beautiful ROM (something different).

MIUI is still in early development, so the MIUI team does not optimize the rom so much.

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant
I've used both AOSP and sense based roms (Trickdroid, Energy, etc.) and really haven't noticed too much of a difference in battery life using stock the kernel. AOSP roms are quicker than the Sense-based roms, however with Sense removed... it's just as quick.
If you throw a custom kernel on the sense-based roms, they easily win out. As Torxx said, AOSP roms are still in alpha and the devs are still working on getting a stable release. Once they get the bugs worked out... I'm sure the AOSP roms will again be just as good, if not better.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.
I'm looking more for Roms with nearly everything working so, aosp and cm are a no go for me right now.
I suppose I'll give the trickdroid with the virtuous kernel a shot.
As for miui, I will also but I'm not a BIG fan of miui.
The sense stock sense is working for me though.
I just don't like the "no exteneded power button menu" on trickdroid like EnergyROM has. I like to take screenshots just by holding the power button and pressing it.

Was going to say the same. the latest CM9 build i tried was actually quite good.. but the camera and all the little bugs (nothing too major, just annoyances really) are what drive me back to a sense base.... The camera on any AOSP based rom is DISMAL compared to what we get with sense. Even the picture quality is not the same. I honestly couldn't BELIEVE how much a difference the software made!!
I have tried all the Sense roms and every update that comes out, well... cause i have a problem, BUT i can say, that at least for me (in the US on Tmobile) the TrickDroid rom is hands down the best IMO. I can actually clock my cpu DOWN and it still flies, i get RIDICULOUS battery life (day and a half with moderate use).
I would say give that a shot OP but DEFINITELY flash the tweaks package!!! Pretty awesome options in there!!

First I was on trickdroid and yes I had a better battery life than stock! But I like to test roms so now I'm on Paranoid Android based on CM9 and the battery life is good to me (2 days with a "normal use" but that means nothing) and the tablet mode is amazing!
What are the best kernels ?

Do not agree, AOSP ROMs are still full of bugs, so the devs could not concentrate on performance so much.
But if the bugs are solved I am sure sou can get a good battery life with them as well.
Without making my ROM good, trickdroid with virtuous kernel v06 is brilliant

Lol one bug with cm9 and that is sometimes video playback is scrambled. Maybe u should try it before discouraging others from using it

Axiom S 1.5 is pretty awesome especially if you like using phone to listen to music. Volume is LOUD and sound is clear with audio tweak options. Battery life excellent plus you get an ICS color theme.
