Hiya Everyone,
Yup another best ROM thread.......
While I love the fact that I can unlock my phone and install a custom ROM, I'm far from a flashaholic. I personally like to install a ROM about once a year, to keep up with the latest release of Android.
Something I've been noticing lately, and it could be a sense thing, is that while most ROM's start out great fast and stable, they seem to degrade over time. Maybe most people don't notice, because they are flashing a new ROM every few months (or days) but for those who want to keep one version around for a while, what's the best one? Is it something potentially stock/non sense?
Thanks everyone,
D5
I use albinoman's CM10.1 since it's release and I'm extremely satisfied with it. I don't like Sense in long term use even though I think it's a beautiful. As time goes by the slow animations start to annoy me.
I think that CM10 by bruce might be a good rom for you =). It is more stable and faster for my sensation than cm10.1 by albinoman. Cm10.1 is also great but for me cm10 is more stable and it does not need to be uptodate all the time. But if you want android 4.2 then cm10 by albinoman ofcourse.
I think that for absolute stabilty the best option is ARHD! A lot of other roms are perfect too but they update frequently and for long terms use this ins't that good i think..
I am using aokp Frankenstein ROM 4.1.2 latest release . It is very stable and does everything I want it to do .

Sense 3.6 I'd say ARHD
Sense 4.0 I'd say OrDroid or InsertCoin.
But try a few and see what works best for you as said above.

ive had a pleasant experience with virtuous inquisition, eye candy w/ stability

I just flashed over Ordroid a couple of days ago sence 4. I was Amazed at the available customization during flashing with Aroma installer and AFTER installation with Ordroid tweaks! I just LOVE the options available to me! Is a stable rom, I get WiFi but not tethering. But besides the tethering its AWESOME so far! So much depends on what your personal needs are but by your post it sounds like you would really love ordroid. Little customizations make it uniquely personal. I highly recommend you try Ordroid 8.6.5. Sense 4 is amazing! But what like most is the ability to custoize. I don't think you will be sorry if you choose Ordroid!

I love this rom because of its speed and stability but i wished we could have the old sense 4 camera... HD pics and could snap lot of pics just by holding the shutter button also i noticed sound quality in headphones differs from rom to roms ?
This is horrible :/ i loved it on virtuous it was very well balanced.. can a 3rd party app help ?
And htc music causes wakelocks so alot of battery drain idk what to do battery isnt so good for me and all i do is listen to music
PS: Sorry for thread hi-jack.

VI v4.0.2 works a treat for me!
Stock T-Mobile Sense 3.6 Elegancia rom. ****ing awesome! 1.1.0 to be exact. It's the stock rom with nothing added, just rooted.
Would definitely recommend Virtuous Inquisition v4.0.2
If you're more of a sense person, why not try Ordroid(Sense 4.0) or InsertCoin(Sense 3.6)?
Thanks guys got lot of info abt three custom roms... Seems ordoid and VI are the best..i m not into more sense but would like to try once sense 4.0...
Also i just rooted my phone and s-offd it. And downloaded some custom roms btr everywhere it says one warning that firmware should be 3.30 or something..and i have stock firmware 1.52 something.. I guess i need to upgrade it but got confused after seeing lot of threads..

bro, if you're new to rooting and flashing new ROM, i suggest you to try ARHD first because most of the guide are using ARHD as example. i started rooting two months ago, and read most of the info from there.

Yes upgrade to 3.32 firmware BEFORE you flash any Ics rom. And yes you will love ordroid especially if you like customization! Sense 4 is wonderful! Never had trouble with it yet. But please remember the firmweare is EXTREMELY important, you will get into trouble if you try to use any Ics (4.0.3) rom with out upgrading the firmweare first. So please upgrade to the 3.32 firmware FIRST. Hope this clears up the confusion and helps! It's very important you do this without question if you want the Ics Roms. Which your saying you do. Have fun and good luck! I know you will just love sense 4! Happy flashing!

Battery life has been the best..i have put ordroid on download and eager to check it also..never thought it would look so beautiful with those roms... Following i have downloaded:

InsertCoin Evolution (not yet tried)
There are lot of roms for this phone. Wish my razr also had roms like these.

Best Sense Roms
OrDroid with sense 4.0, most bloatware removed, frequent updates, bugs HDMI out, WiFi Tether,
InsertCoin same as above, different theming
Team Pokemon, new sense 4.0, same bugs as above, however, Pokemon team has great tweaks as well as some of the best dev's, including the dev on OrDroid,
ARHD is the best sense rom without bugs, however Sense 3.6 with most bloatware removed, updating is slow, however, due to stability or the rom isn't a problem
You can try them all, you will end in the Elegancia's threads anyway!
I'd give Cyanogen Mod 9's Nightly build a try. I flashed over from Android Revolution HD and I'll never go back. The entire build is sleak and smooth. Android 4.0 brought a whole new way to see things when it comes to Android for me.
Hello all,
Sorry for this daft question, but haven't been on here for months. Just wanted to know the best or most common used ICS rom you guys are using on your Desire S as I'm well behind.
I have a UK phone and was unlocked using htc dev. I only want to upgrade if all features work. Any reccomendations ?
cheers
S-off it for wider costum rom support, and flash Fallout 5. It's on Sense 4, and pretty stable.
Wrong section, reported.
Please keep questions to q&a section.

True, S-OFF it and get whatever ROM in your DS, switch between ROM easily.

I think, one of the most stable and pretty working ICS is Fallout 5.
Used it about few month, all was fine.
Now using Jelly. Not so stable and some functions didnt work correctly, but its faster

well to be honest custom roms arent for everyone, i know its tempting to want to flash a custom rom and see if things are better, but if u r happy with sense then i suggest just use the ruu from htcdev.com to get the official ics update. i have been using it since a couple of weeks and havent had any issues with it other than whatsapp hanging when u try to open link received through whatsapp. other than that its been smotth sailing, better than gingerbread and sense 3
i have used the miui ics rom and didnt like it much other than that i have tried the cyanogenmod 7.2 for desire s but my personal opinion is that custom roms are not always the most stable and if u r not into heavy customization then i would suggest just skip flashing a custom rom and stick with original htc rom.

ICE_DS is the one i choose. Stable and fast, no problems with.
But i think it's time to try Fallout.

Hi I can recommend a great jelly bean rom with very few issues! I get great signal, very fast, lots of customisation, smooth like butter! I use it for my daily rom. It's called Paranoid Android version 18. I use it with DK kernel 3.0.53 and have excellent battery life! I HIGHLY recommend this rom. The other jelly bean roms give me data problems. It's very hard to get data. But NOT this rom! I get five bars of 4G signal with this rom. Dragun korr makes this rom, known as DK. He has wonderful fast development on this rom! It's honestly near perfect! You really should give it a try! I think you will be very happy. I've tired all the other jelly bean roms and I feel this one is the most stable and best in my opinion. But everyone is different so try out a few and see what you think, but do give this one a try. Hope this is helpful, best wishes

ok i try it !!!
whats the most stable rom between jb and ics I want one that as hardly any bugs or drains the battery
try elegancia or viper s ICS. They're both very stable and bug free. In my experience JB is buggier and drains the battery a bit more.
Hi
All roms are good you will have to try on your own, it depends upon you what you like search in development section you will get all of them try them out its not compulsory which Rom is stable on my cell will be stable with you
The most common stable Rom is
HTC STOCK rom

try arhd.. all rom is really god, just set for yourself
Before there where any normal JB roms out there I was on ViperS what was on ICS base.... I would say the best of the best out there on ICS base!
Have tried Elegancia but it wasnt for me.... Dont know why battery drainage was 2x more that viper's and found to much bugs in 4 day usage... went back to ViperS!
Now for about 2 months im on JB 4.2.2 AOSP And im also very happy now...
There are NO specific best ROM out there....For example one person likes ViperS, one likes elegancia, third one likes something else....
I have tried about 7 rom's overall in my sensation life... but these 2 (ICS -ViperS, JB - AOSP) in my opinion are the best...
Which ICS <-> JB? Flash and you see which one you like the most! I'd preffer JB now because its 'smoother'....
Just flash, try for few days if you like it stay, if you don't choose the next one... They are all for free!
I try them viper and jb

You can't go wrong with either ViperS 3.1.2 with modified kernel OR Carbon ROM.
I wouldn't give ViperS to my uncle, he would probably go to Venom tweaks and install too much **** on the phone, or somehow manage to mess it up.. Haha.
I'd go with either
Android Revolution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Or
Revelation - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349756
Currently my choice is: Inspiration v1.0.1, Best Sense 4.1 & 99.99% Stock ROM I ever found...better than Every Sense ROM. Hell Stable and Fast with fantastic battery life.

In addition to what had already been said, I had a great experience with Albinoman's CM10.1, and I think 10.2 should be no different. Apps loaded extremely fast (faster than any ROM I tried before and since), had a smooth ride around th UI, and it was even underclocked the whole time.
Also, if you want stock sense 4+, you can go for revelation, it doesn't have the Team Venom stuff in it.
In my opinion, Revelation is definitely the most rock solid, stable ROM. Sebastian kept his 3.4 kernel and ROM as close to HTC stock as possible, and everything Sebastian makes tends to be pretty solid, so I'd install Revelation.
