[Q] Is there any 100% stable Rom available for Desire S?

Is there any 100% stable rom available for Desire S? Ive been searching for it and found so many out there but everyone is complaining about every rom out there, complaining about wifi or camera or restarting issues are these roms meant to be unstable or they are supposed to be like stock one? can anyone please tell or guide regarding ICS or Jelly Bean rom i can get without getting in trouble as ive never ported my phone before, thanks!

There is nothing in the whole wide world nobody is complaining about.
To topic: there are roms that are way better than stock. Most people having issues don't know what they are doing.

I've used most roms and most stable 3 are cm7 ,virtuous unity and fallout
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

Fully stable ROMs that I've used and liked are:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3):
Endymion
Reaper
Cyanogenmod 7
Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0)
ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!)
Fallout (not 100%, missing wifi tethering, but every single other thing works).
Hope this helps!

you mentioned ICE_DS 4.3 (fully working!) can you send me the link from where i can get the guide and download it? I've stock 2.3.5 on my Desire S with Sense 3.0, thanks!

i found this is this right:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the following stable ROMs?:
Cyanogenmod 7
Endymion
Fallout
Reaper
Virtuous Unity
Alternatively, where can I find a straight forward comparison of them?

try it yourself.
Don't let other ppl's preference determine what suites you, if I ever did that then i would be stucked at rom A, and i wouldnt even bother to try rom B.
Even though i read that there were many issue with rom C i still tried it out, and the issues they mention didn't appear in my phone. So my current rom is now rom D.
So then rom B had an update, so i back-up my current rom then restore rom B then updated it. I didnt like it so i went on to try rom E which was one of the lattest developement.
Take ur time to try it all, because once u tried everything u will get bored as i am now and just waiting for the lastest update to come.

I'm pretty conservative when it comes to changing ROMs.
I know that CyanogenMod 7 comes with integrated OpenVPN and WiFi tethering if I recall correctly. I consider these two features as quite desirable. I assume that Endymion and Reaper have that too as they are based on CM7, right? Apparently, Reaper is not based on the stable CM 7.2 release but then, on the other hand, it has been advocated as very stable. So, why has the developer then promised a final release?
I'm scared of losing my apps and data when changing ROMs. What ways do you guys use to ensure that your can restore everything to working order after you've flashed your new ROM?

Does the free version of TB suffice?
Any recommendable TB beginners guides out there?

yes, perfectly good enough. You just won't have the batch function. But it's easy to use and has a simple ui. I will say this though, if your going to be flashing roms regularly then it is more than worth paying for the full app, I paid for tb and Rom manager on the day I unlocked my bootloader, and haven't once thought that maybe I shouldn't have

Virtuous Infinity
Virtuous Infinity v1.33.0 Alpha3 looks good with very few bugs and it offers full Sense 4.0 support I will try this tomorrow lets see how it goes, I hope it will turn out good!!

Use HTC stock ROM
Sent from my Desire S

Well, in that case, stock Rom suits best for u. IMHO, the loveliest part of Rom developing is that someone found issues and someone trying to fix it. That's what Android Dev really is. And I enjoy using all kinds of Roms developed by those awesome HTC Saga developers. Every Rom has some bugs, and it doesn't matter if they don't affect your daily use. Enjoy them I'm currently using CM10 by nexx. Rant too much...:banghead:

Another Vote for Ice DS
Version 4.4 + the new tweaked kernel = a big improvement over 4.3.
As a based-on-stock rom I think it' the choice for you.

I don't agree with that.
I had to disable the SIM-code, because every couple of days, my HTC crashed and Restarted.
(if you don't know that, you don't get call's because of the simcard-code).
That was the reason I bought a new smartphone (xperia U).
Since the HTC was in my desk-drawer, I began to experiment with rooting/changing ROM
Now I have fall-out for 2 weeks now, and my phone hasn't crashed 1 time.
So for me, custom ROMS are more stable than the stock one. (and faster, smoother, ...)
It just feels like a whole new phone.

Anybody knows witch ROM is the best for Battery Life ?
It should be ICS and Sense 4.0 ... At the Moment i have the "Project X" installed

Try ice ds...I am getting on an average close to four hours of screen time on a full charge...that's the max I have ever gotten on any Rom ics or gb...

[Q] ROM for a App Dev & Daily Workhorse Phone

Hi all,
its been many months since I left the scene of Android OS/App. Development.
Now that I am back I want to upgrade my HTC Desire S' stock GB 2.3.3 ROM.
I have a rooted desire S with HBoot downgraded to 0.98.2000 (PG8810000) . ready to roll.
But as I went through the forums I felt a lil' disturbance in the air with so many ROM's and as I am wanting to have a JB based ROM into my phone which I use to test Android based apps daily evening which I develop. so I am need of a fairly stable ROM.
Also, I would need the help of the community to setup that ROM. I would also like to have a decent battery life (atleast better than my current HTC stock sucko )
So, can you guys recommend me some ROM?; and post me a lil' how to? just to refresh my memory. I think Andromadus (excuse my spelling) is looking pretty awesome...though am having my eyes on Jellytime-AROMA too..(is it a copy of Ubuntu? or just the lock screen?)
Also, I am having Touch Recovery, and a backup software installed in my phone.(forgot the name :¦ )
Thanks

Best recovery is 4ext,cwm does and can cause issues with bad flashes. Andromadus CM10.1 is a superb rom, as a jb rom it would be my choice hands down
"Unix is user-friendly. It's just very selective about who its friends are."

Having a lot of fun using this rom. Stability wise its great - Ds is my main phone and have had no problems with it - and jb like you ask for

Hi, thanks for replying.
Yeah..I actually forgot the name. I do have* 4EXT touch v.2.4.1 installed.
Also, I read somewhere in the forums that we need to flash a downgraded/upgraded version of the *Radio* ? Is it true? :|
What about the GPS..location services are they working out of the box?

Allright.. but between Andromadus and Pacman v.19.3 which one would you recommend in terms of stability?
Also, I read somewhere in the forums that we need to flash a downgraded/upgraded version of the *Radio* ?
Is this true? :| Because there has been some issues with the caller not hearing the other person's voice..er?

I'd say Andromadus is more stable. Not had any sound issues so couldn't say

AW: [Q] ROM for a App Dev & Daily Workhorse Phone
I would also recommend Flinnys Andromadus ROM. As I am on a HTC Dev unlocked Phone, I can definitely say that no special Radio is needed for that. I came directly from stock ICS.

What you're looking for is either Fallout v5.0 or Flinny's CM10. The only problem with CM is the ridiculous battery life, even on idle.

Battery life?
So, on average use how much does it gives? And on idle mode?

err.. CM10 is which build from Flinny?
AFAIK..Build 133 is CM10 (android 4.1) and build 13 is CM10.1 (android 4.2)
So, you're pointing me towards CM10 i.e build 133 (android 4.1) from Flinny's?
Is that correct?

CM10.1 is more stable and i had good battery out of it

Yes, CM 10.1 (build 13) is IMO still not stable for daily use, however you can try it out yourself. I'd stick with CM10, again if it was nice with the battery.

On idle mode, it drops roughly 2% in a minute, with Wi-fi, 3G, Bluetooth and GPS off. I never tried letting it discharge completely, because I switched to Fallout as I need a longer battery life for personal use.

I've not used build 13 but build 12 was my daily for weeks with no issues of battery, wifi and gps on all the time

I'm using Flinnys CM 10.1 build 13 since 2 weeks and can definitely say, that it's stable for me. More stable than Stock ICS by far.

Well, I see that kind of battery drain only when using the phone actively. In idle mode with WIFI and 3G on, without using the phone for more than the occasional e-mail check every other hour it'll last up to 2 days.

What ROM do you recommend me to use? STOCK, CM7, CM9, CM10...

Hello.
I'm flashing my wife's ChaCha with different ROMs and I was wondering if there is something better than Stock based ROMs.
I value most battery life, second memory space (have the SD card partitioned and using Link2SD right now). Don't need HTC Sense or any other bloatware.
I just need the camera to take pictures, so I can sacrifice the front camera too...
So, what ROM do you guys recommend me to try to have the BEST battery life?
- Stock based (like Hegoxen
- CM7
- SuperOSR 2.5
- CM9
- CM10

I was having problems with the DIALER draining the battery, so yesterday I flashed SuperOSR (CM7.2 based) and so far drainage issues seem to have stoped.
Will post again in a couple of days with the results.

go for ajeevlal port mate, you will never regret it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365533 Release 3 is the one you must install

I'm using Hexgore's rom, based on stock rom and i'ts the best for daily use, i recommend it for you ...

i think best is stock rom, one programmer can do with theme & new statusbar stock rom its perfect happened

ajeevlal's CM10 is actually great! and it's getting even better!
if ur wife is a Stick-to-Stock person noo never change it u'll never find a better rom
if u want speed, extra storage with INT2EXT+ just DO it and change to CM10 ajeevlal's is a great ROM! and i'm personaly working with him to make it even better
as you know, no front camera, sometimes bluetooth issues, other than that, u've got a wonderful CM10!

Forget
Forget all what you heared and try ajeevel CM10.1 Rom it has everything you can imagine

Dad's A2 is slow/laggy, do you notice less lag with custom ROMs?

As the title asks, have any of you noticed battery/performance increases in custom ROMs, and if so, which?
I'm mainly looking at Gummy because I'm using that on my AHD so it will (hopefully) be easier to help him.

If u don't want to flash roms every now and then, u should try Numa. Its ics based, highly stable and fully functional. And the battery life is best in this rom, i think

speedup

You hv 2 choices - a kexec rom or non kexec one
See list of custom roms in the Q&A section.
Fyi tho:
1. Kexec roms are faster, mainly bcoz of dtrails hybrid kernel - 1.4ghz stable @1330mV (cn u believe that!) They also do not hv visual/ display tearing ( the kind u get when ur phone disp is fps-uncapped) BUT their batt life is very poor as in really really bad, ur gonna hv 2 charge twice to get thru the whole day, at least.
2. Non kexec roms stick to std clockspeeda, hv visual tearing(although very minimal) and ia bit behind (latest is 4.2.2 kexec roms are 4.4.2 already) HOWEVER battery lige is very close to stock ics which is fantastic
Its a tradeoff basically performance at latest version vis a vis great batt life on a slightly older version. Do note that for nonkexec roms 4.2.2 u cn always dload motomizer from pstore and get it up to 1.3 ghz - thats not too shabby, is it?

[Q] ICS-based ROM for HTC One S

Hi all,
After owning a One S for nearly 2 years now, my battery drain problems get worse and worse. Before it was updated to JB, the battery life was much better, but I haven't had much luck with either Sense JB or CM 10.
I thought I'd try an ICS ROM to get me through to June (when I can upgrade), but can't find CM 9 for the One S on the CM website - can anyone advise which ROM to install?
Thanks

The ICS rom's are all listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789812. The problem as you say will be download links, if you like sense try viper 1.2.1, that link still works. From my experience the sense rom's have much better battery management than AOSP. Or you could completely go back to stock ICS/JB using an RUU. For the record, the best battery life I've had on this phone is with MaximusHD. Also it could be that there is a problem with the battery and the ROM won't make a difference.
