Hello everyone!
I'm just requesting if anyone can make a ROM based on both MIUI and Gingerbread...
I love these 2 Roms and I can't decide what to use :S
So I made this thread to ask if someone can make a Rom on MIUI & Gingerbread...
I'm asking a big thing I know... :S

stockginger its leaked rom motoblur 451-134?
if is that, its impossible to porting one in other or viceversa!
i tell you for my personal test, usually the original rom from motorola its very hard to modded, specially in case to added in other (aosp) rom!
this happened because, if you remove some blur.apps the moto-rom crashed!!
i read that someone find to port motoblur on samsung or htc devices...without good results!

Ok thanks for the Reply!!
The stockginger is any Gingerbread ROM for the Defy
So in conclusion It's nearly impossible and it's EXTREMELY hard to do it :S
Ok then... I really don't know what Rom to use XD
I like MIUI's UI but I like Stock GB simplicity and speed..

[Q] New to Android - MIUI on HTC Desire S?

Hi everyone,
I got my HTC Desire S almost a month ago, and this is my first ever Android phone. Now, I don't like HTC Sense that much and I'm not really impressed by home launchers like GO Launcher or Launcherpro.
I like the look of MIUI a lot, especially because of its 4-icon dock and iOS-like homescreen(s) so I'd like to put MIUI on my HTC Desire S but I've noticed that there are many versions of MIUI, so I'm a bit confused.
I have searched this forum for information / answers for my questions, but I cannot find a topic that lets me understand every aspect of it.
These are my questions:
1) How do I root my phone?
2) How do I put MIUI on my phone?
3) What version / type of MIUI is the most stable?
4) Can I still install Android-apps in MIUI?
I do have experience with flashing the firmware of a LG KM900 Arena (S-Class UI) if that helps.
Greetings,
Nilscollection

Hey!
check this : [GUIDE] A Complete Tutorial for the Beginners and Others
you'll have to check if your device is already s-off first... if it is s-off then you can flash custom roms with rom manager or recovery

1) & 2) take a look at the index thread inside the development section, there are a few links about this, but root itself you got with flashing miui cause it's prerooted, but I suggest you have to put your bootloader to s-off, how to do this is also in the index thread
3) as much as I know is every version stable, it is build up on the previous with bugfixes and sometimes new features, because of this I think you could take the last one, to be sure take a look at the miui thread itself and check the bugreports
4) yes miui is still Android
Swyped from my HTC Desire S

1) No need to worry about root as it's already pre-rooted.
2) If you're going to install MIUI, you need to S-Off your phone. Then you can install it by downloading it to your SD Card and install it from recovery.
3) The latest version is fine. There are 2 different version that i'm aware of. Official version and MIUI US version. I'm using the US version. MIUI is updated on a weekly basis.
4) Of course.
Do check the pinned guide for more understanding on basic terms and more advanced stuffs.

Which ROM ???

How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts

Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.

Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.

Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.

Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.

[Q] Which rom is the best for my rooted phone?

Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!

Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always

Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl

Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.

+1 for Endymion 3.4,

+1 for Endymion
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium

edymion, will try it

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.

Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..
Btw: endy!...
