Hi! I'm looking for a good stable rom for Huawei u8860. I've tried countless roms... currently i'm testing the latest shendu dev rom. both the shendu and CM10 roms are really fast, but they have have small issues, for example, I can only use 3G on the shenduOS, but on shenduOs I can't access my sim card utilities.
i've tried almost all of the official roms, the one i like the most is B929 RUS, but it's still a bit slow. the phone gets really hot at times.
I'm also open to making my own rom, because i'm a student in computer/mobile science, but I haven't worked with android yet.

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
+1 Endymion
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
edymion, will try it
+1266592.23 for Endymion

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!...

Hey guys,
I have flashed an ICS ROM 3 days ago, but it doesn't really work that well it was my first custom ROM I flashed in my life
But I decided to try MIUI. So I found this guy called Wajk, and he made this ROM called WIUI. My question to you guys is, can I expect the same (or even better) of a custom MIUI ROM as an official one? And even more important: Will I get the weekly updates?
Maybe some of you have had expierences with custom MIUI ROMs, should I choose the official MIUI ROM or a custom one?
Thanks guys!
P.S. Hope I'm doing this right, first time here on XDA for a long time
You'll get weekly updates if the developer updates his/hers rom every week, and you flash it again every time. But this is unlikely.
I'm myself using a custom MIUI rom, and I love it. Only problems are the built-in screenshot app doesn't work, and the Extended Settings app works neither.
Anyways, it is worth at least trying. Frankly, I think this is the best rom for my phone. All kinds of themes and lockscreens work.
I know everyone hates this kind of questions!
But it's been a while since I did flashing. My last rom was Cromi 3.1 Inheritance. Worked great for for a year, but lately, just too slow, too many force closes and alot of sttuters to get me to move my lazy bum and flash.
So what I've done is updated to latest BL and Stock rom + rooted and TWRP 2.5, that's where I am at atm.
Going through Dev forums, I see three obvious options (pls feel free to suggest more)
1. Omni ROM
2. CM 11
3. Cromi latest
--
I'm looking for something that is 1. Very stable 2. Smooth browsing (my primary tech device). 3. Clash of Clans 3.1 Cromi just got too bad after alot of use, the browsers would auto-close or fc etc etc, very annoying.
Looking for your input,
Regards

I had Cromi before going to CM 11. Cromi was very good, but CM 11 seems pretty good also. I only just started playing with CM 11 yesterday.
-OmniRom really fast using ART, problem is that some apps crash when using it, you can also use DALVIK then it becomes more stable and smooth not as running ART but it is OK
-Last Version of CROMi is really nice and fast, very stable as well + the stock feeling
-CM11 I cant really say much cuz I had only used it for like 4 Hours so cant comment on that

cromi all day mate its superb
Hey Guys, I have been strolling through different ROMs for GT 18262, but i dont know if they are totally stable or not, so i thought i would create this thread where all this info could be there.
I wnat to know whether there is a rom which fullfills this requirements:
1. Stable
2. Everything works including Camera.
3. Support for swap.
4. Possibly a higher Android Version than stock rom and not just themed.
Maybe I am asking too much, but i have Cosmic Rom with its final version flashed but i have this problem that the ROM would just stop responding and even after restarting i cant even unlock screen cause possible screen wouldn't respond. I tried many others like Monster Rom build 3, but the microphone didnt work when calling but worked on WhatsApp Call(lol). So please help me

M using cm11....and its best stable and customized rom ...u can later change the theme to lollipop and thats really good......imrunning this rom from over 5 months and have not a found a single bug
I already tried it, but apps like Gmail would crash when i open any email or even opinion rewards would just force close itself. Even some parts of Hike Messenger dont seems to work on it.
Any developer thinking to port Oreo Go Edition for this device! it will be a big help for this device.
Some bugs

It has some bugs like when I played COC it give me some problem and shutter lags
Can some developers of this Device can come together and put forward a ROM which has most of things stable, uses latests Oreo GO edition will be a last salute for this Samsung Device. If someone can guide me in porting or building rom, I am ready to do it.
Which rom would you say is the best for oneplus 6 ?
This is really subjective. Only you can know which ROM suits you the best.
A lot of people really like OxygenOS (the native OnePlus OS).
It can be customised and tweaked a lot without replacing it with a custom ROM
... and if you don't know what you're doing trying to load a custom ROM will cause you a lot of headaches.
If you really want to try a custom ROM, try reading threads from ...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development & https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/oneplus-6--6t-cross-device-development
(make sure you backup your stuff first and read a lot. You need to understand the whole process because it's likely you'll encounter a problem or two if this is your first time installing a custom ROM)
Personally I'm currently trying Paranoid Android Quartz 1.
I installed it a couple of days ago so it's too early for me to give a strong opinion, but so far I like it a lot.
I think quartz and treskmod have been most stable for me while still having great battery life and good features.
