Hey Guys!
What Rom is smooth for Desire S. In Gaming, Multitasking, Internet?
You can try ICE DS or ViperSaga.
Both works good for me.
Reaper is still one of the best. Fully functioning, blisteringly fast and stable
Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. ~Wernher Von Braun
Viper or MIUI - both are customable, smooth.
Sabsa Prime is probably the smoothest but it has still some annoyances on the camera and fallout tweaks, nothing big.
Viper is what i'm currently using, really impressed with it so far.. had to install tweaked 9.0 kernel so my wifi would function fully.. had disconnects with default kernel and lower performance on speedtest, same servers.
Haven't tried others that i would use daily to give you feedback on, only experimental JB etc.. i would check at least viper
if u want smoothness and multitasking ,, then cm10 latest build is the best option ,,as smooth as butter,, and a great multitasker,, great gaming ,,
i benchmarked with antutu (default cpu frequency ) i got a score of 3712 ,, btw im using viper saga ATM ,, so i can tell this is also smooth ,, but not a very good multitasker ,,

Speaking of which, amida have you found yourself a nice set of settings for that or are you sticking with default? Default doesn't seem bad as the rom is still pretty smooth for me but i'll take anything i can
Would give people some guideline values to start from besides default if so.
Edit: Bit silly question, the already existing ones should work well enough.. considering stock is already smooth.. can just go from those values.. nvm it m8.
I am not heavy multitasker so I am fine with the defaults

For me, both Endymion and Reaper work very well.
In Reaper, there are some memory management tweaks- default cm7 and the Supercharger profiles of Balanced, Aggressive and Insane.
For different things you will need different sets to do the best.
eg. For multitasking and internet, you do not need the Aggressive and Insane modes, because they will kill your memory apps faster. But the same setting will be better for Gaming. So kind of different settings, which you can change easily.
Also, for gaming, overclocking will be better, but that is not explicitly required for multitasking or internet, though it is a plus.
You will have to play around the things for some time. And every device and user is a little different. What works for me, may not work for you.
Cheers.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
Using for about one year now, (tried many roms) as for me this is most stabile and best rom, Yes I want ICC, however i have quite some problems with them. This is 100% stabile.

Hey guys,
I'm wondering what ROM is better, Runnymede or Endymion, what gives you better performance and battery life, which one is smoother?
Thanks
Endymion 1.1 much better for me

Endymion is the superior rom.
You dont need overclocking with this one even for demanding performance. While with other sense 3.5 roms out there overclocking is an absolute essential even for something like a lag free rosie... There goes battery life out the window.
Anyway, what kind of battery do you expect with 2 ghz oc ? Plus there are known kernel problems there.
Also how long would you expect to keep your phone alive keeping it overclocked like that...?
There is nothing out there with sense 3.5 that is even remotely in Endymion's league.
However, I do acknowledge that opinions are always subjective and everybody is entitled to their own.
So I'd suggest you flash both roms and try them out for yourself.
Firstly, you will get a first hand picture of which one is better...
And secondly it doesn't cost you anything except some time...
Which again is the least you can put in to try out two of the best 3.5 roms for your phone designed by Devs using their valuable time and yet offered to you absolutely free of charge.!
Hope this helped. Cheers.

I'm sorry but IMO the ability to OC to a higher degree isn't a benefit, OC your simply means burning more battery and simply shorten battery life. Anything over 1.5Ghz has been demonstrated and discussed many times to be dangerous for any prolonged periods unless you are intending to use your device as a form of central heating.
Using Nandroid Backup you should be able to install and run both ROMS alongside one another as well as keep the ROM that you're currently on all in case you choose to return to that....if you do please post back your findings and comparisons.
Has established Endymion 1.1? But sound improvement (Beats) does not work. How to treat? Excuse for my English.
I've only tested Endymion 1.1 for 2 days now and i'ts really good.
I've O/C my phone @ 1228mhz via SetCpu and it's very fluid and fairly battery eating.
I can't do anything but advise you this rom, very good stuff for me, but i don't have anything to compare on this device...

Irrelevent point, I'm running the HTC stock kernel with no overclocking (with some extensive priortising of non launcher applications), and I'm experiencing no lag what so ever. (Proxuser's Runnymede S)

better kernel support and its very stable.
Using runnymede with stock kernel no lags but battery drains :\
Runnymede is perfect for me. Speedy without OC, but I did it anyway. No bugs and battery last 2-3 hours longer than my stock 2.3 with Sense 2.1.
Regards,
Crwblyth
Runnymede better u can trust it
Thanks all for ALL the information,, REALLY helpful!!
but i think i'll stick to Runny,, and now they are updating to v3.2 and it has some good tweaks!
Change-log in Runny v3.2:
✔ new base 1.05.401.4
✔ Fixed Honeycomb lockscreen text bug
✔ Tweaks - Volume Key Screen On
✔ Tweaks - 5x5 Appdrawer
✔ Tweaks - Hide Navbar Text
✔ Tweaks - Volume Key Camera Shutter Button
✔ Fixed distortion for HTC videoplayer 720p playback
✔ rom manager support
Hi I've a question. Do I need the latest h boot to run endymion or runnymede? When I ran proxuser's ota 2.3.5 rom I kept getting bootloops. Or is this due to the hyperion kernel?
Btw I'm on revolution h boot s-off.

Hi guys I have gone from one ROM to another all professing to be the smoothest or most stable but all have left some what of a bitter taste in my mouth. My current ROM seems to be the most stable and have all the basic modcons working AndroidHD v1.0 | ICS
So I’m on a UK I9020 and I’m like preferably ICS over GB and main important points to consider for me would be
Battery Life, Stable, and Fast,
I am a bit of a power user but the ROM don’t have to have to many mods or sparkles just need something that doesn’t reboot at least twice a day and gives me battery life for 12 hours plus with fair use of apps and internet.
Please help at the end of my tether
yeah i'm in the same spot...i have been trying some ics roms and many claim "fast & stable & rock solid & butter smooth" etc
But they dont feel that way to me...i really like ics but i think its still slowish. GB is way faster.
Currently on codenameandroid 1.2.0 with matr1x 15.5 cfs
Come on guys don't all hide now lol, need your applied knowledge. Some one must have some thing they can recommend
try AndroidMe 1.1.0 not a single issue for me ,when on others ics roms i had fcs and reboots.
battery life around 16h with 3h of 3g and 3h screen on with brightness set at 68%.
CM 9 1.1 has been stable and brutally fast, better than stock IMHO. Only thing missing is FB sync.

Only thing thats kept me from CM roms is the worry that apps wont work with them, what sort of uptime do you get?
kangy v10 or AOKP milestone 3, damn good , with Matr1x kernel.
smooth , stable , battery friendly
im using the last cm9 kang with a bare boned(no mods added) trinity kernel, not a single stutter or speed bumbs. fast, stable, and everything works.
Now I'm using CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ICS v.5 HYBRID+Matr1x 14.5CFS, well, as far as I can tell, it is quite stable and battery is not draining so fast.
Try some roms with AOSP tags, these roms have less modifications and mods, and maybe have a better better performance.

So far brain master's AOSP and cyberGR hybrid ICS have been the best for me... nice and stable and great battery life

just tried a few roms. sorry to say that the stock rom is the best, so far.
Stock is stable, but a bit slow. but the slow problem is same in other custom roms.
I don't have the problem of battery drain.
Downloading 4.0.4 rom ported from NS4G. Hope it fix the speed problem.
Don't want to use 2.3 anymore, though 2.3 is fast and stable
I tried these custom roms -
Mv 2.1.27, 2.1.28(cm9) lots of added features, but less stable than stock
Miui - although I am a Chinese, don't like this Chinese rom.
Slow. Don't know the cause. Rom still in alpha? Or wasting CPU power on beautiful ui?
Unfamiliar ui Is another problem. Not my cup of coffee

No reboots on stock kernel and CPU speed. Overall, I've found all ICS ROMs to be moe robust than gimgerbread, with very little issues.
I'm now running PrimoS v4.1 but is Fallout V5.0 better?
Also does Fallout V5.0 has the Beats Audio integrated?
Thanks in advance.
Yes and yes.
primo is quite old now, the latest fallout has a custom kernel incorporated so you can overclock which makes it a slicker experience
Sywepd form my DsereiS
+1 on that.
I'm advancing to ICS/GB and not sure what roms are up to spec.
I've been on Endymoin for a while now and it's been great!
Basically looking for stock with some extras.
I agree with Ben. I am using Fallout V5 and OC the CPU a bit and it runs very smooth it's stable. Only issue I have run in too was my own user error
2nd it's off course too easy to test it yourself as making a ROM backup takes `10minutes. Restore the new ROM and find out yourself. That's the way I do it, because no other experience other then yourself is the best 1.
PS. CM10 is also sexy
I'm also using fallout 5.0 and I think this is the best rom for our device.
With the new kernel its much faster and feels lighter, and the great thing is: everything works! (great battery life btw)
CM 10 is definitely very sexy, but it's still pretty unstable as far as I understand from the thread, so i;m sticking with fallout for a while
Anyways, testing for urself is also in my opinion always the best way to find out which is best for you.
good luck
Fallout v5 is good, but when you scroll desktops there is distortion clock widget with the weather, today established CoolDroid v 7.0 with kernel Falloutl v1, all very smoothly and quickly works with a staff of settings of the CPU, but there is one significant for me bug - backlights are always ON.
You guys should definitely check this
But read the whole thread first

Fallout 5.0 hasnt been benchmarked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651197
Nevertheless even Fallout 3.0 performance seems better than PrimoS
Fallout V5.0 or CoolDroid Revolution v 7.0
Which is better ? I'm now running Fallout V5.0 but the battery lasts for no longer than 1 day, sometimes it goes really slow and I have some problems with Play Store...

Best firmware for my Nik Project X. I made a number of changes in it, replacing part of system applications, the kernel, added the latest version of Fallout Tweaks, slightly edited build.prop and the result is a fully working great firmware.
Special thanks to nikhil007mmus, lowveld for the source material.
In my opninion, if you combine virtuous infinity 1.35 beta with amidabuddha's tweaked kernel and if you set up the governors and schedulers well, then you get a rom what we could call 'almost perfect' But, if you can live without the sense 4 recent apps and the virtuous tweaks Fallout is definitely faster
For me, Endymion is the best as I've almost tried all Sense base roms here but I keep on going back to Endymion....
Fallout V5.0
Personally I'm using fallout v 5.0 and it seems to be working great so far.
I'm using it as a daily driver and have run into no issues so far.
Hope to see a version with jelly bean out soon
The new Paranoid Android v2.14 is very nice, after i flashed the 77n Kernel, no battery drain, works fast and looks great. I love it !
Hello,
my Question: Is Someone using MIUI JB on DS? How about the battery life, stabilty and speed?
Sorry for my bad english
Hey!
I have used MIUI JB rom for a week! it's absolutly a very fast rom!
But i had the following issues:
Camera works 100% only on first boot some problems but after using it more than 3 times the issue is gone!
The battery life is terrible.after 8-9 hours sleep the battery drains about 25%! And on normal use it drains after like 2 - 3 hours!
3D games lag sometimes here and there! Temple run works fine and smooth!
And the best about this rom it's stunning fast! i compared the boottime between the iphone 4s (dual core) vs Htc desire s (one core)
Desire s was about 1 second slower. and against the iphone 4 12 seconds faster boot time!
I think you should try the rom first! maybe it works better on you're device if you'r lucky !
Actually the battery life is the most important for me
Which version do you use?

I use ICE DS v.6.0 Rom. It's a stock Htc Sense 3.6 with android version 4.0.4.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567715
The rom is very Stable! i never had issues with this rom!
Battery is very good! i don't know how much it drains by night!
But after 7 hours studying in school! i looked at my phone and it just drained 4% . didn't use it!
But if you use it the battery drains pretty slow . It has actually a great battery life!
Gaming performance is good! i tested today the new Need For Speed Most Wanted. and it was Lag Free!
No camera issues! It's a very good rom voor daily usage/gaming/long battery life!
No Bugs/Freezes found so far!
This is probably the best rom i have and found so far!
I hope i gave you some good information!
And by the way sorry for my bad english
Don't Forget the thanks button!

are u sure about this??
i have used it for close to a month, but i wasnt very happy with it, though boot times are faster than stock, i found that it has its share of hiccups, i didnt like how the camera functioned, there was a bluish tinge to the photographs, some apps had a lot of lag and games particularly werent very smooth. also the gps didnt work at all so couldnt use the maps, which for me was a big let down as i use maps a lot. i think flashing a custom rom is overrated, unless u r a developer i think its pointless, i am happier with sense 3.6 and ics 4.03 stock rom of htc
the only reason i would ever root my phone again would be if i could find a pure stock android experience otherwise i wouldnt.

Pure stock android? You mean like cyanogenmod, aokp etc.? I'm running flinny's (andromadus) latest CM10 build, and find it extremely stable and far faster than anything with sense. And it's fully working, now the front cam is fixed.
i tried cm7.2 stable build and didnt really like it... cm9 and cm10 for desire s not available as yet, and i dont want to flash a nightly or experimental rom, im not a developer, im a noob,

I think the best rom that have good battery life is based on usage and configure of owner. I set some cpu governor, limited use 3G and have a battery life about 2 days.
ah, my rom is JellyTime.
I tried official MIUI V4 2.11.5 (ICS) i guess from the miui.com but got force close after installation. The site told that i need to S-OFF my phone is that true?
Unless you think that they are likely to be lying just for the fun of it, it is always best to follow any Devs guidelines when it comes to installing ROMs.
The problem is. I'm already at hboot 2.2x lolz and I don't know how exactly to downgrade and s-off. I read some thread that told me to downgrade using RUU. But dunno it will work or no. Also my device ia S510e Is that any difference with common desire s?
