So I recently rooted my HTC Desire and installed Leedroid. Everything seemed fine, until I installed Launcher Pro. For some reason the animation when entering the app tray is very laggy, and sometimes when exiting the tray as well. I also noticed that the progress bar in the market doesn't work when downloading an app. So I decided to try a different ROM. Next I tried Gingerburst, but the same things happened. With Gingerburst I also had a problem with WiFi disconnecting the whole time.
Anyway my question is: Does anyone else experience these problems or know how to fix 'em. I know they're small thing (except for the WiFi), but still . Or can someone recommend a ROM for me to try next. There are so many I don't want to try them all.
Thanks
Hello, I have worked wit leedroid ROMS with no problems at all. Did you click on wipe data before installing the rom?.

I used Oxygen on my desire.
If you ask me it's the best rom for the desire.
Very slim and clean, just the basics and then you install what you want.
I did a wipe in recovery before flashing the rom yes. What was weird was that I had exactly the same problems in two different roms. I think I'll try again doing something different (don't know what yet)

So I tried Oxygen ROM... very good! Everything works fine now BUT... I kind of miss Sense. At least some of the apps that came with it. Not a fan of the Sense launcher. But apart from that it's all good!
Can anyone recommend a ROM with Sense that's any good though?
Looking to get a few opinions from ppl that flash multiple roms to their devices. Looking for something that is stable, not overclocked, and has the least amount of reported issues. Thanks in advance!!
i am currently using insertcoin 4.6.1 and it is very stable and fast also without overclocking it
Android Revolution HD is great, very fast, very stable and I've had no issues so far.
The Android Revolution HD ICS is a really good ROM. I just recently flashed it and love it. It's fast and stable. I performed the benchmark test with the ROM and came up around 2900-3000 compared to the previous 1900s.
I will second Insertcoin. The only issue is the inbuilt WiFi tether being broken, but I believe that is an issue with ALL current ICS roms. Barnacle works wonders.
Flashing Android revolution as we speak.. I thought it was supposed to give an option to select 1.2 or 1.5?
InsertCoin and ARHD are both extremely popular options. My suggestion is to try them both and see which one works best for you. Give each one a few days to get the kinks worked out and always make sure you do a full backup and Super Wipe every time you change ROMs!

I had the same thoughts as you when I was using Clockwork Mod to flash roms, it never asked anything about the install. Now, I use Touch Recovery and I have yess/no options when I flash roms now
Its really difficult to find a fully compatible ROM for your phone, as what happen to mine tried the popular one which i got a lot of issues some people not, so I tried other. Every ROM's claiming fast/stable. To be fair you can to try each for yourself which I did and happy with what i have now. Different people have thier own choices depends on what their need. Go out and explore there now 44+ ROMS you can narrow down which is more popular and depends on their feedbacks. Goodluck.
If you would like to try non-sense I recommend miui v4 or either CM9 kang. I've had zero issues with either.

ENERGY ROM is very stable, fast, and also lightly themed...... overall an extremely smooth ICS ROM...give it a try....you wont regret
blackICE is the best from all aspects
bigpercaso has created a ROM which is the best by performance stability and on top of all the ROM is themed so beauty ................

Stock from RUU install. Been running this since latest Ruu was leaked and having no significant problems. Very close to a release candidate!
Make sure you are s-off and super cid before trying!

Yeah, it will ask you but only if you have installed 4Ext recovery instead of clock work mod. In my experience 4Ext is a much more complete recovery.

Virtuous Inquisition 3.0 was working perfectly for me for weeks, 3.5 is a little buggy but 3.0 is just brilliant (No Sense ROM)

But super cid is not needed.
No issues so far and hotspot works perfectly.
insertcoin rom is the best for me
I've been running Android Revolution HD 5.3 since January. This was my first experience with a non-stock android device as I bought the device configured in that way. I was very happy with it, but couldn't get HTC Sync to transfer my contacts and found it a little laggy, other then that it was great. The best advice I was given to fix my issue was to reload/update the ROM. Mike actually uploaded his latest version 6.4.0 while I was downloading 6.3.1 so I scrapped that and went with 6.4.0 since it was based on the Final HTC RUU 3.32.401.3.
Its only been a day so its not much of a test, but so far its way better and faster then the old ROM even when it was fresh. HTC sync worked flawlessly. the response time is as close to instant as you can get. You need to use 4ext recovery to have the option to use the 1.5Ghz kernel or load the Sony Bravia engine. I chose both options and have seen no issues, only improvements.
Like everyone said its really your taste so try out a few varieties, just remember to superwipe between them else you might find bugs that aren't really an issue with the ROM but because you didn't clear all the old data.
All the best and have fun.
Hey all,
I'm complete noob about flashing. When I had GB - that was quite simple, but now I'm on last official ICS stock from HTC, and I'm totally angry for this. This rom it's just crap. I want to flash to a custom rom, and I don't know how on ICS, there is any solution? Noob proof? I want to change to some stable, smooth, and maybe non-sense rom? Can some1 help me? Will be very nice, if this rom will have wifi/bt switches in quick settings, and auto sys-updates (ota)

yes, only this method for now.
read it carefully
I'll be able to back to stock if needed? (To send it to service for ex.). It's really needed to change cid? IS there any custom rom with OTA?
Yes you need to change cid, yes you can change back if needed. Try out a few roms, see what you like they all are really great. It's just a matter of personal preference. I'm not understanding what you mean by Rom with ota. Over the air Rom? Or do you
Mean a Rom like the ota update? If so, yes there is. Hope this helps

Rom that have system updates over the air, and notifications about update like stock rom, u know, i'm entering preferences > about > check updates.
I can't try few roms... This is my only one phone at now, and I really need it to work, that's why I want to change to some better rom than stock, and that's why I can't try few of them. You know - I don't have time to beeing angry to my current ROM, and also no time to try few of them
No with roms you won't get the ota updates , sorry
There are a lot of good stable roms, what exactly are you looking for?

Hm, I don't really know... I like Sense, but maybe clear ICS have better features? If yes - I don't want Sense. I really liked quick settings when on GB rom, now I don't have wifi/bt switches, but I want to. I don't know what's more... I've never had any senseless ROM. But most important - I want ALL functions to be working. Sense 4... ahm, I fall in love with Sense 4
Help me to choose, pls. Battery is important too, and smooth. But I think smooth is very good on most future ROMS

You can get s-off with the juopunutbear method. Which now does not need the htc dev-off, so htc does not know you are tinkering with your phone.
Returning your phone completely to stock can be done, but from what i've read it can be tricky as you must become S-ON again. (however, there is a unbrickable team here).
There is a way to flash with S-ON but it requires HTC DEV unlock, and for you to manually flash the boot.img, and keep the stock kernel. A noob myself i went for the whole S-OFF, lets bring it on experience.
From what I read on a local forum in my country, Ordroid gives you the sense 4 experience. And the developer regularly updates his / her rom.
Then again there is sense 4 from Baadnewz (insertcoin) and many more. A popular sense 3.6 rom is ARHD.
You can flash different kernels to increase your battery life.
As for the vanilla ICS, you can either go for CM9 (respect to Vorbeth) or the AOKP. The latter is based on the cm9 nightlies (i believe). I run such a rom. I love the vanilla looks and the added tweaks.
However, I believe recent nighlies have worse battery life. And there is an audio routing issue. For full reliability you might consisder those sense.
what's vanilla and aokp?
Please help?
Hi, I have spent almost three days browsing trough the Sensation forum hoping to find an answer to my question, and I couldnt find a sufficient one so I decided to register and make a thread, Im really sorry if I somehow overlooked the answer, and if this thread is in the wrong place. First of all, thanks for all the people making guides for rooting as I have just rooted my Sensation Xe two days ago
Im currently running Android version 4.0.3, Android Revolution HD 7.3 XE, kernel SebastianFM and all I "want" is a transparent app drawer/tray (or at least a custom background, I hate the plain black one) and also, if possible, transparent background in the settings, notification bar and other menus while retaining the original (stock) look on everything else, by which I mean not using any custom launchers (nova, apex, etc). I tried flashing some of the Rosie modes and with some of them I got just a little bit of transparency, while with others it just crashed. Once again, sorry if this has already been answered, or there is a similar thread, but I really couldnt find one. Thank you very much for the answers
I would suggest you give this ROM a try it is fully customizer-able to how you want it to look and feel much easier than modding the files yourself you need special software to edit the files and also need to be quite knowledgeable in Photoshop ect...

First, Wrong Thread my friend, you should ask this in QA section.
Ok, Now your Solution is ---> Darksense Tweaks...It offers Transparent App drawer only with fix Transparency rate..it doesn't offer you custom background, though it looks nice on it.
Please do a Backup of ROM before flashing any MODs/Tweaks.

Dude, LeeDroid tweaks has that tweak.
Download here
Flash it like you flash a rom, under HTC Sense tab you can change App Drawer transparency, colours and use a background image if you want, isn't it exactly what you want? That way you can keep AHRD
@MidnightDevil That sounds about right! I will try that right now and see how it goes, thank you very much for the help.

You're welcome There's no need in changing the rom because of that, ARHD is a pretty good rom (closest to stock in that matter), enjoy the experience

Try to clear the data from HTC Sense Input (settings - apps - all apps), also, what recovery are you using?
Either way, I don't think the S-ON has anything to do with it, that's more related to kernels and stuff.
That's unexpected because in the thread where addons are listed, Leedroid's there, although for 6.8.x versions, but I remember using it on the 7 series and worked fine.
You can try however (if the problem persists after clearing HTC Sense Input data), to reinstall the rom without wiping (you would still have all your apps and config, and tweaks would still be there).

If you want the latest sense ROM and the most customization, then Viper is the way to go. Make sure you are using:
-The correct ROM for your device e.g. S4 ROM for S4 device
-Check all the MD5 sum
-Recommended Radio
-Clean install
Also try a custom kernel like ElementalX. Viper has always had the best stability and battery life of any custom ROM I've tried.
