[Q] Which ROM?

I am getting this phone as an upgrade for my sister and was wondering which ROM people are recommending? Had the Desire before and that was running CM so something snappy would be ideal

CM,Hydrogen,Miui in that order
For senese roms try vrtuouse unity,lbc

For sense use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029

I am using Virtuous Unity beta right now. It is super smooth. De finately check it out if you want Sense 3.0 rom.

I tested a lot of custom roms. i recomand lbc saga 0.6.0. the custom cm adapted for desire s has a lot of bugs...

The best and smooth rom that i ve used was virtuous 2.3.5
I tried MIUI and hydrogen but they always fc com.android.phone

I recommend this ROM: CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 (v1.0.2) By: NeoLojik
It is very fast and stable. And if you like sense icons, there is a sense-theme at xda.

endymon is the most stable sense 3.5 rom,all of the ics roms have no working camera for now untill we get a new kernal.

But there are non-Sense ICS roms with working camera, if that would interest you.

You may also try Virtuous ROMs.. they are quite stable and fast as well.. Also Bindroid is a good option, basically you need to try yourself..

Endymion.

Endymion.

Ice Cold Sandwich is an ics rom with a mostly working camera. Other than that, endymion is the best and most stable sense rom imo.

Just out of interest, why did you get the desire S if you had such powerful phones before hand? The nexus S isn't more powerful but the galaxy S II is much more powerful and a much better phone.

I sell the SGS2 befor 1 week.
I am not sure what to buy now so in the mean time I wanted an android phone.
But only for 2-3 week.So I can decide what to buy between One X/One S or Xperia S or SGS3 .

I think I will take One X at least.

Hi folks.
I've got some time off from work so I can finally play a bit with my new Desire S. I have it for almost a month and didn't even change a thing
I've looked into the dev section and there's a ton of ROMS. Previously I had a Legend and the development there was way smaller then here.
Basically I'm looking for a good Sense ROM with some tweaks, OC support and good battery life. Any recommendations?
Also, I would like to know if anything goes wrong can I flash it without issues to stock with no signs of unlocking the bootloader etc?

I don't use it as I don't really like Sense, but you can't go wrong with Endymion as a ROM.

So Endymion will be my furst try
One question - is this normal on the Desire S, that you need to flash boot.img manualy on every ROM when unlocked via HTCdev?

Yes, its as a result of using HTCDEV.
You can attempt to RELOCK, downgrade and then S-OFF using Revolutionary, which will mean that you don't need to do that boot flash separately, but, I'd suggest that you save that for next week, there are several guides that should help....but would suggest that you read them all first.

Which rom is better
Endimyon or Primodonna
I am not intersted in camera much
And rom has better battery life
Plzzs suggest ???

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Endymion is a stable rom, Primadonna is still "experimental".
A more correct comparison will be. Endymion vs Affinity, i for one use Affinity as a daily driver, but others like Endymion more.
Both of them are stable it's just a question of personal feeling(i think).

Reaper 3.0 is a superb stable ROM too.
I still haven't tried endy yet because Reaper is so good

Good clean rom (ICS or JellyBean)

Heey xda people.
In a few days I am receiving my One S.
I have seen the stock ROM and by my opinion it is full with bloat-ware.
I would like to flash it with a good clean-andorid (ICS or Jellybean) rom.
Do you have any suggestions or recommendations ? I would be happy to hear that.
Thnx in advance.

TD 7.1.0 all day everyday.
Everything works, fast and smooth and good battery life. What more do you need?

MIUI Sense based... All MIUI functionality whit some Sense applications (like camera and gallery)...very good Rom.
Sent whit HTC ONE S

If you're into sense
1. Venom sense ( this rom offered tweaks to your liking and customized icons...mostly everything, but still 100% sense)
2. Miui Sense (fast as ASOP, but you get sense camera and gallery and 100% customizable. You can changed anything to your liking). Update are every fridays...(Rebecca Black) LOL
3.Axioms S-less ( a strip down version of sense to get ASOP feeling)
JellyBean
MIUI Jellybean
CM10 by xkonni

however you have the list here.

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.

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.

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] Favorite Sense ROM?

Due to the wireless issues i seem to always have with the cynogen roms, I'm probably going back to using a sense based one. Is there one thats nearly stock, or is stock? If not, what do you guys like to use? I want one thats smooth, and doesn't have any issues since this is for my daily driver. Really im curious what everyone likes to use.

There's a few in android development that are stable and jb based

Viper 3.0, very smooth (JB) and stable for me.

See, I tried Viper for a day or so, it just seemed bloated with all the custom software they put into it. It just seemed bogged down.

Newts JB sense 4+ really smooth and nearly bug free(depending on who you ask). No bugs for me though.

Ok, ill have to look into that.

Really? The tweaks are the selling point for me. Where you running the stock kernel? I really like CleanRom but that's all it was, just a clean Rom. I really like ViperXL 2.4.1. Coming from jailbreaking iPhones, Viper personally appeals to me from tweaks alone.
I'm itching to try 3.0.0 though but no Venom tweaks as of yet. How about JellyBam?
ATT HOX Premium App--Stock is fine but modded is Creative

CleanRom and King Cobra

Best sense ROM is tachi91's new jellybean ROM. Then flash the new radio.

I use Viperxl with all the bloat erased and elemental kernel. Very stable and get awesome battery life. No reboots etc.
