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.

Hello everyone! This is my first post but I am a long timeme user of the forums.
So normally I am pretty good with this stuff as I understand a lot about this but I simply can't find a good rom and kernel that is also ICS. Currently I have BrainMasters MIUI 2.3.7 ROM, with the MIUI Trinity kernel.
I tried a few ICS ROMs and I love ICS but all the roms have some sort of problem. Ultimate ICS 2 had constant lock ups on me and my phone doesn't take kindly to over clocking. At all. Cyanogen Mod alpha 18 works okay but it gets very slow once all my apps are on it and it barely multitasks. Apps seem to close whenever left making multi tasking useless. Another one I tried was one that was super charged but the problem here was all super charged ones have done is close the app if left for a few seconds again making multitasking void.
Currently this ROM works no problem but I want to very badly move to ICS goodness. Also if some one can help my phone over clock better that would be nice. Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks, cheers.
Okay. Here are a few roma you have to try.
1) peter alfonso's ICS rom (download at download.peteralfonso.com then in the crespo section)
2) AndroidME rom v1.1 is in development section here on xda.
3) CM9 kangs. (Download from
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/skankwich/crespo/ and use the latest g-apps from cm9 alfa18)
That are the roms i like the most. The peteralfonso rom is bugless.
But now im on androidME v1.1 with eugene's speedy-2 kernel. Speed, battery life and stability. Just what I need
Hope this helps..

Peter Alfonso's ROM (check general section) is good. Used it for two weeks without any hitch until i decided to explore other options. Currently on AOSP+ Neapolitan ICS 2.0.3 with no major complaints.
If you want other kernels, matrix and Glados have treated me well so far. I always OC to 200/1200 and have enough battery life for every day.
Even the stock ROM seems to have problems (for me the main issue is that battery is definitely worse than on GingerBread), maybe we should wait for a while to let things settle down.

Pixel's stock rom with the Simply kernel were rock solid for me. I'm now trying Eugene's kernel with Pixels rom, and that also appears to be working very well!

That's what I first thought, I kept telling myself, okay so I am gonna wait til these are out of Beta and maybe wait for Cyanogen 9, but then I realized wait a sec this is STOCK Android?
I hope people work out the kinks in ICS for Nexus S soon cause it looks like a master piece

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!

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

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...

he only uses the phone to call(around 2 hrs minimum daily) and very very minimal data consumption(checking mails)
so i wanted to know which ROM is very stable and gives a long lasting battery for voice calls
(the one which i am using is pretty good)
my question is is there is any better ?
My 2cents. There is no better rom then the ONE you like/love.

If your Dad doesn't root or care just stock and be done with it.

androixide 3.1.0 is your best bet
I think you should use a stock 4.0.4 with maybe a cooked kernel.. when my phone was not rooted yet I had 4.0.4 all stock and battery life was better than after rooting(around 2 days with medium usage)

Stock and nobody will debate that
just flash the stock JB rom provided by Google,
It is indeed the MOST stable rom of JB
For battery life and stablity, personnaly, it's Xenon, but stock is a better choice for an unexperienced user and the stability is guaranted (most of the time). If he only checks his emails and use the phone (as a normal user I guess ), he doesn't need all the "best performance" tweaks, etc. Keep it simple.
Closed, there is no such thing as a "best" rom, try them for yourself, and search and read before you flash anything!
Which is the best JB rom for our phone
Its very individual,
Thats why "which is the best rom" questions arent allowed here.
Everyone habe other needs.
Some likes aosp look and feel,
Some likes the stock features..
Best way would be to try it on your own.
Or tell us your needs or your focusses, so we can recommend you one.
Your question is like, who makes the best music..

if you want to stay on stock: viper one s 2.2.0 with latest bricked kernel (I got 3-4%/h drain with normal usage, whatsapp, fb, xda, music)
if you want to switch to aosp: slimbean/latest cm10.1 release/deviantx with latest bubba vn3 kernel
thats my opinion
I also would recommend Viper!
i was going to install the trickdroid meh its sounds like viper rom is faster and more stable thanks for the input guys

I know it's been almost a year since your last post, but what are your thoughts on these 3 roms now?
I got this phone not so long ago, tried a few kitkat roms that weren't fully functional, so ended up choosing unofficial cm10.2. But after 2 months, I'm still not fully satisfied with stability and especially battery life. What is your current rom now, and otherwise which one is the most stable/has best battery life?

That's the rom I'm using already. I'm still getting random reboots, lags when using browser, it's pretty good but not stable enough for me. I was hoping there was an aosp (even 4.1 I wouldn't mind) that is perfectly stable but it seems that it isnt't the case.

Well Kitkat Roms still have lots of bugs , CM rom would be best for now maybe try the new MIUI rom its sense based so practically everything works !

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.
