[Q] what is the most stable rom you downloaded ?

Hi ...
I'm trying to do my friend a favor by downloading a costume ics rom on his pyramid since he doesn't really like his stock rom , so my question is what is the most stable and non bugs rom for ics you advice me to download ? thanks a lot for the help guys

Custom ROMs
Since your friend is not happy with the stock ROM, you can give Android Revolution HD a miss, since it is as close to stock as one can get. Though it is rock solid & very stable.
You can go through this brilliant thread to have a look at the various ROMs available, the sense-less ROMs in particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613295

Do you want AOKP or sense 3.6 or 4? Cuz for sense for me it was ARHD.
but I've been using HyperSensation (AOKP) on and off for a while.
If you're looking for stability in general, I wouldn't go for sense 4 right now.
In the titles they have to advertise their stability, which isn't a really good sign IMO.

It depends if you want a stock look or a aosp look, I'm pretty sure for stock most people would recommend
this and for aosp it would be this or this the reason I didn't link you to cm9 or aokp based rom because they still have minor bugs which isn't technically 100% stable but if you don't mind those bugs and want a vanilla android feel get one of those.
P.s make sure you make a nandroid before flashing a rom.

ARHD is not wrong.
others you can try Ordriod.

The three most stable from my experiences are:
Arhd
Leedroid
Elegancia
(Ordroid is very close to getting there)

Most are stable unless they indicate beta!

Insert Coin is pretty good

I experimented with several ROM's including MikeHD OrDroid, Virtuious however for my preference and taste I Recommend LEEDroid Sensational 7.3.0 Many thanks to this fabulous developer!

Asianic v.2. Super stable, fast with every conceivable mod to choose from and great sound to boot.

I would say Virtuous Inquisition, never had any problems with it. OrDroid is almost there as well...

I've been running Ordroid 8.1.0 for a couple days now. It's pretty stable. It's crashed a couple times. Rebooted randomly once. But not much else if you're intested in sense 4.0. I might consider going back to Charmander and try that out for a longer period.

I've tried virtuous, its stable, however I'm liking beatsbygrogg its very stable too it has sence and virtuous is a sence less Rom , I get WiFi and hotspot. Its just a matter of personal taste. I think you should try out a few roms and see which one suits your own personal preference.
That's the fun part. Thank God for the developers to give us options, just try some and see what YOU prefer. Have fun.

Any full functional AOSP rom?

[Q] Why don't we have a stock vanilla ics rom on this phone?

I come from using a nexus one, and before that a g1, so I am used to having vanilla android on my phone or at least having the option to have it. I bought the one S when my phone broke down thinking that the htc sense UI would not be such bad thing. However after a few weeks I still can't seem to get used to it and actually have grown to hate it. I installed a rom that doesn't have most of sense but it still doesn't have the same feel. So getting to my question, why isn't there a rom that is just plain ics without sense. Will this ever be available?
Also kind of off topic, but why was sense ever created? I understand that htc wanted to put a twist on android but wouldn't it be enough to create the apps and widgets? I feel like some of the key features of android are lost and for little gain. What is going to happen when jelly bean rolls out? Will one S owners have to wait more while htc tweaks it to work with sense again? I have gotten really used to the hardware aspects of this phone but I am contemplating switching over to a galaxy nexus just for the benefit of having vanilla android and having more development support.

Have you tried CM9 or Paranoid?

They are not AOSP, they are based on it. And heavily modded. This dude just wants AOSP.

aren't they all based on Sense kernel? which beats the purpose of it all.

Idk man... I'm new to this phone, but I know my phone is now on Android 4.0.4, and there isn't a single hint of sense ANYWHERE in the ROM. I also had to flash a different kernel so I would be willing to bet its not on the stock kernel

that differen kernel is still based on a heavy "sensed" one by HTC. easily tested by it's multitasking ability or lack thereof. i don't think anybody "de-sensed" it completely yet.
HTC One S via XDA

CM9, AOKP and Parandroid are not sense Based. Ohe kernel is not sense based. a good example is MIUI, there are 2 MIUI builds, one is AOSP based (based on CM9) and the other one is sense Based.
Want proof by your own? flash CM9 or AOKP and flash a sense kernel on top of it and try to boot the phone. you will get a boot loop.
CM9 is the closest you will get to an AOSP pure vainilla rom since is based on it.

You guys on the first page must be pretty challenged... CM9, AOKP, and PARANOID are based off the the CM9 source. They have NOTHING to do with Sense. The only Sense based ROM (not stock ROMs, IE TrickDroid) is one version of MIUI as it has the stock Sense camera and such...
Sense was created because it's what HTC wanted. Why is there TouchWiz, Moto Blur, or anything else like that? It's because the device manufacturers wanted their own version. Thank the dev team for the option to switch different version of Android... We will only have AOSP ROMs and not ever stock ICS (no mods) ROMs because there is no stock ICS for our device. Only Sense or AOSP.

That's really funny that you're calling him out when CM is definitely not stock vanilla ics.

So, the easiest answer to this question is because no one, including the OP, has created one yet, if its even possible with what there is to work with.
I'm actually pretty happy with all of the options devs have created for this phone.

only "nexus" phones have vanilla ics

Not as funny as you saying CM9 is not aosp. It is built from aosp and made to look look and act like aosp. Don't understand you fools?????

He never said that. Relax, man. The OP is just commenting on how he's tired of Sense and would prefer a more vanilla experience.

What does "stock ICS" actually mean in this context? AOSP is the true Android experience as Google intended, right? So, is stock ICS something else?
So we can get:
AOSP - original;
AOSP - customized;
Sense - original (default)
Sense - customized.
Is this correct?
Wouldn't we be able to get TouchWiz ROMs, for example?
I'm new to flashing ROMs and all, but I've been following the scene for the past few months, and even though I can say I'm among the brighter people, I still have difficulties understanding - mostly - the nomenclature of the scene.

We don't have it because is EVIL. That stupid google search gadget permanently stuck to all pages is ridiculously stupid. Plus indeed a lot of the interface. HTC Sense is like a cool breeze.

well i come from HTC Sensation ROMS, and in that sections there are a lots of "Senseless ROMS" where everything related with sense is removed, except for the camera, and the roms were so smooth and as fast as AOSP ROMS, the feeling was exactly the same,
I hope someone make a senseless rom for HTC One S soon because its really awesome (like a AOSP rom without any bug becaus its based on a sense rom byt without any sense part)

There are AOSP roms; they are just in the alpha stage of development and rather buggy in some areas. If you want a senseless ROM (as in the actual sense launcher removed), any of the HTC-based roms (including stock, non-rooted phones) can have Sense removed and replaced by any launcher from the market. I've tried the existing AOSP roms, and aside from the bugs... the stripped down HTC-roms as just a quick.

Is GB faster than ICS on Desire S?

Hi guys,
I tried many ICS roms some sense and other non-sense still all are laggy and no ICS rom is comparable with GB roms especially MIUI.GB .. is that true or I'm missing something here? Is it kernel source for Desire S? I don't think so as Virtuous Saga rom is laggy too
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app

Virtuous Saga is a leaked ROM, it isn't final and isn't fully polished/tested. Moreover, the kernel and ROM might be running in debug or partial debug mode, dumping lots of data and slowing down the system. The only other stock ICS ROM for testing is the community ROM from chinese OTA, but it doesn't have some of the functionality.
Given proper drivers or kernel adaptation, I don't think there should be any reason for slower ICS performance. One of the causes might be lack of kernel source, and adaptations for older binary drivers that are done to compensate for it. But it's only my opinion, not facts - I can't prove or disprove it.

Hi, have you tried AOKP? I just recently restored my old GB Sense ROM after having used AOKP for the last couple of months, just to see which one feels faster. After just one day I was back on AOKP. :laugh:

My opinion: all ICS ROMs for Desire S are still laggy and baggy in some way I've tried a couple of them and I'm still disappointed We are all hard waiting for HTC to release kernel 3.0 source. After that some problems with speed and stability will be fixed. And after that we'll see is "true" ICS on Desire S faster or not Until now - yes, faster. In my opinion, of course.

I use icecoldsandwitch and like it very much.
Its based on the AOKP rom.
Still a bit laggy but as good as it gets.

Best ICS ROM ?

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.
Sent from my Desire S

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
Sent from my HTC Saga

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.

cm9_nk111

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

[Q] Differences between ARHD & CM

Hi there, as title says, could someone please tell me, in a "schematic" way, the main differences/pro-cons between latest android revolution hd (6.8.0) and the latest CYANOGEN MOD both stable (9.1.0) and nightly build for HTC Sensation XE (w beats)?
Thank you very much!

ARHD is a Sense 3.6 ROM that's really fast and stable.
CM9 is stock android (ICS) without Sense.
CM10 is stock android (Jellybean) without Sense.
It's all down to personal preference. Test them out for yourself.

Thanks for the reply! But in specific, apart from having htc sense, in what they differ? For instance: battery usage, having or not beats, kernels, stability, cpu mhz and so on...

Hi,
As sromer said,test it for yourself.
Make a nandroid,and run them in turn.
Then,YOU will see exactly how they run for YOU.
Everyone uses their phones differently.
YOU are the ONLY judge on how YOU use the phone...

I think the main difference between these two Roms is that the CyanogenMod is pure Android based open source replacement firmware for smart phones. Whereas, ARHD is based on firmwares released by HTC for their cellphones.. (Someone correct me if I am wrong )

I know that htc sense obviously is not included in CM, but is it possible to keep Beats Audio on CM?
