How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.
Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.
Ty.

hey guys
sorry for bothering you. i know asking which ROM is the most stable is frowned upon. but I'm asking it because it is not my phone. it is my sister's and she is killing me. so, which one is the most stable ROM?
things i care about:
working camera
working wifi
working gps
working gprs
working ...(all the essentials)
good performance
thing i dont care about:
the android number ( it's not like my sister is the most tech savvy person). i dont care if it's android 4 or 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 . i just want it to be north of the android 4 and capable of getting her happy and satisfied with her phone.
thanx in advance
P.S: if you think there is a kernel or something that i better hear about, please let me know about it.
try flashing the latest ' slim Bean. 4.3' .. by lolation, you will get it in the development section.
for me most stable is Cm 10.1 Alpha 9 by dhiru. Big thank for his God work! ^_^
Thanx. I installed this rom. It has worked flawlessly for these couple of weeks. Thank ur god for me.

There's not loads yet. But all good roms. They do make the device smoother and have better battery life. I would recommended it. Some devs have some awesome stuff up there sleeves in progress for this device too
So as you all Guys know that falcon has a really Good development and has plenty of ROMs. Reply Down Below and lets see who's using which ROM Tell the battery and stability of the ROM (only if you want to ) so that it could help others decide which ROM to flash . Benchmarks screenshots are appreciated :good: :highfive:
PS - Im on NightShot unofficial cyanogenmod snapshot
Stock optimized 5.1 by lost101. Main reason battery life is around 50% after around 3 days.
If someone has a Rom that might be as good I'd be more than willing to try it.

Hello all,
I have a sony ericsson xperia neo v (mt11i) which is currently running FlexOS 5.1.1 lollipop. My experience from this rom isn't bad but it isn't extremely good either so I was wondering if anyone here knew what the best lollipop themed custom rom is for my device. I have taken a look at OwnROM but i haven't flashed it because I am new to the world of custom roms and I don't feel comfortable with flashing things regularly. Aside from these two roms I haven't been able to find any other lollipop themed roms. Can somebody please tell me if there are other roms and also which one is better. keep in mind that I play a lot of games so I would prefer something fast. I would appreciate any responses,
Thank You

the problem with flex is it is very out of date because the flex team stopped building for all devices some time ago, i know because i used to build for them.
i cant speak for the other rom you mentioned, but whatever is available will be here. you will just have to try them and see which one you like, because there is no best rom. everyone thinks whatever one they like is the best, so whatever response you get to that question is mostly useless, other than the one i provided.
