Please suggest Bug free and fastest ROM for Desire S
currently i am running
Android 4.0.3 HTC sense 4.0
ROM : CoolDroid v 6.1 Revolution
Kernel Version : 3.0.16g61209db
baseband : 20.4801.30.0822U3822.10.08.04m
that's a matter of opinion but the Roms that are most stable are the GB Roms, but like I say it's all a matter of opinion. 100 people= maybe 100 different answers. Read the Rom threads and try some, figure out what's best for you
sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I've got two minutes
My Opinion -
Fastest - Andromadus
Bug-Free - Any Sense 3.6 ROM based on official RUU/leak
Combination of speed and stability - Fallout
I tried Reaper V3 very fast but I couldn't pair the phone with my car kit so moved to Endymion_V3.5 which is great so far.
Endymion or Reaper.
Fallout or another 4.0 ROMS are not fast/smooth enough.
Why don't you just pick a few, flash them, try them out and then decide which is the best for you?
What suits somebody else might not suit others. For instance I currently need ICS but I don't want Sense because I think Vanilla looks much better, I also don't want a pile of crap on my phone at the start so I went with CM9 but somebody else may prefer Sense 3.6 or 4.0 so they choose a Sense ROM.
You can find out how buggy a ROM is just by reading the thread for it.
I personally am running
[ROM][May 23]Virtuous Saga v.1.0.0 [3.04.401.1][Sense 3.6 Android 4.0.4]
I like Virtuous ROMs, have been using Virtuous Unity before this one. Everything works fine.
In my opinion, the latest Andromadus JB is the fastest of all the 4.x roms I tried, definitely the smoothest. Other roms I tried were Fallout, ICE DS and Virtuous Saga.
I've tried almost every ICS ROM that's there in the development thread and I've found ICE DS the most stable and speedy out of all of them. I'm not even going to bother with GB in this case because it looks bad.
I recomend Fallout without doubs
Fallout with new oc kernel. Only problem with fallout is wifi hotspot

Hey currently I am using this ROM:
Android Revolution 4G 4.0 β 2 | Gingerbread & New HTC Sense 2.1 | Android 2.3.2
This ROM is good and all...but is a little buggy from what I can tell. It tends to lag and slow down the phone a lot. Apps force close now and then. It is not a smooth ROM is the bottom line.
So I am looking for a new ROM to try out but I wanted some opinions before I do a clean wipe on my phone.
I am currently looking at the LeeDroid ROM...
How is this ROM?
Does it have any major or minor problems?
Any other ROMs that you want to recommend would be great, but please give some details on why you like it.
I am basically looking for a FAST and CLEAN ROM.
Thanks!
Lets just put it this way leedroid not only builds roms, but custom kernels. Including the kernel used in CoreDroid v3.2... I think that alone says enough..
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.
+1
used lbc mod and virtous today. going back to stock.
Great ROM,
Dont really like the customizations on lbc.
virtous. again great ROM, but personally dont like the way sense 3.0 uses upp sooo much RAM.
tested them each for 10 minutes. going back stock rooted rom. anyone suggest any customizations for a rooted stock ROM?

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 just tried leedroid ROM, really impressed with it! You should try it out! I removed most miss from it too, so pretty much stock now.
BTW, do you know how to change the HTC keyboard with arrows back to the old HTC keyboard without arrows?

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.

I am getting this phone as an upgrade for my sister and was wondering which ROM people are recommending? Had the Desire before and that was running CM so something snappy would be ideal
CM,Hydrogen,Miui in that order
For senese roms try vrtuouse unity,lbc
For sense use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029
I am using Virtuous Unity beta right now. It is super smooth. De finately check it out if you want Sense 3.0 rom.

I tested a lot of custom roms. i recomand lbc saga 0.6.0. the custom cm adapted for desire s has a lot of bugs...
The best and smooth rom that i ve used was virtuous 2.3.5
I tried MIUI and hydrogen but they always fc com.android.phone
I recommend this ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 (v1.0.2) By: NeoLojik
It is very fast and stable. And if you like sense icons, there is a sense-theme at xda.
I know there have been many threads about this, but for some reason my search is not pulling up any answers....
Just a simple question,
What is the best/most stable non sense/sense stripped Gingerbread rom?
Please note, Im not asking about CM7, ASOP, or ICS roms as I know none are 100%.
I dont know why my search is not pulling up related threads, so what is the most stable and fastest non sense gingerbread rom? I though I remember reading Virtusous was awesome, but I cant even find that...
Guessing something is wrong with the search so can you guys give me a few choices with the links?
Thanks
I suggest ARHD the gb version is perfect.

I thought it had sense, is there a version with sense stripped out?
There have been a few mods that say you can turn the sense off, but I have never tried as I love my sense and actually won't use a rom now unless it has Sense 3.5 as I like the features of that sense rendition better than 3.0.
Funny, I went through a massive search today to find the best non-sense GB rom. Sadly, HyperNonSense GB is no more and has been replaced with the ICS version. Two others, Beastmod and Senseless Extreme are hosted on multiupload, and that goddamn website seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth.
That being said, I'm back on Virtuous Inquisition, which is great, but I don't want to use ICS until custom roms are based on an official release.
I started to try out different ROMs and the "Knowledgeable Ones" said, there is no best one to point out other than trying every ROM. Man it's soooo true ! The best one for me may not even suit you. I HAVE tried every GB ROM out there and settled with "SENSEAY ROM removing the sense with No-Sense script" keeping the essential parts of sense like lockscreen but making it super smooth & i think as the development of GB ROMs are complete, further upgrade or assistance is no more needed and that's why developers are giving their time for ICS. You can use the search button for whole week looking for best ROM, but i think it will only make you more confused . Start with a ROM u like (Use no-sense script if u wanna get rid of sense), if u like it more, make a nandroid backup & try another one. U have to be the one to decide the "BEST ROM"
Use ARHD 3.6.13 and use the No-sense script. It's very speedy and great battery life to boot!

so your using the GB version of Virtuous Inquisition? I can only find the ICS version... can you link me to it?
MIUI 2.2.3!!!!!
Would prefer the Coredroid 3.3 GB really stable and fast/smooth interface has a lot of tweaks also, tried others keeps FC on some application, cant remember which app but mostly the sense. Goodluck. Now im on DF ICS and im keeping my Coredroid 3.3 backup just in case i want to revert back.
Hi ...
I'm trying to do my friend a favor by downloading a costume ics rom on his pyramid since he doesn't really like his stock rom , so my question is what is the most stable and non bugs rom for ics you advice me to download ? thanks a lot for the help guys
Custom ROMs
Since your friend is not happy with the stock ROM, you can give Android Revolution HD a miss, since it is as close to stock as one can get. Though it is rock solid & very stable.
You can go through this brilliant thread to have a look at the various ROMs available, the sense-less ROMs in particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613295
Do you want AOKP or sense 3.6 or 4? Cuz for sense for me it was ARHD.
but I've been using HyperSensation (AOKP) on and off for a while.
If you're looking for stability in general, I wouldn't go for sense 4 right now.
In the titles they have to advertise their stability, which isn't a really good sign IMO.
It depends if you want a stock look or a aosp look, I'm pretty sure for stock most people would recommend
this and for aosp it would be this or this the reason I didn't link you to cm9 or aokp based rom because they still have minor bugs which isn't technically 100% stable but if you don't mind those bugs and want a vanilla android feel get one of those.
P.s make sure you make a nandroid before flashing a rom.

ARHD is not wrong.
others you can try Ordriod.
The three most stable from my experiences are:
Arhd
Leedroid
Elegancia
(Ordroid is very close to getting there)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Most are stable unless they indicate beta!
Insert Coin is pretty good
I experimented with several ROM's including MikeHD OrDroid, Virtuious however for my preference and taste I Recommend LEEDroid Sensational 7.3.0 Many thanks to this fabulous developer!
Asianic v.2. Super stable, fast with every conceivable mod to choose from and great sound to boot.
I would say Virtuous Inquisition, never had any problems with it. OrDroid is almost there as well...
I've been running Ordroid 8.1.0 for a couple days now. It's pretty stable. It's crashed a couple times. Rebooted randomly once. But not much else if you're intested in sense 4.0. I might consider going back to Charmander and try that out for a longer period.
I've tried virtuous, its stable, however I'm liking beatsbygrogg its very stable too it has sence and virtuous is a sence less Rom , I get WiFi and hotspot. Its just a matter of personal taste. I think you should try out a few roms and see which one suits your own personal preference.
That's the fun part. Thank God for the developers to give us options, just try some and see what YOU prefer. Have fun.
