Hi, I have a Chinese (Unicom) dual-sim HTC E8 (M8sw). I haven't updated my ROM in ages- I'm running one based on KitKat 4.4.2 called Dr. Oweida 1.10.
I'd like a ROM which is pretty economical in terms of battery usage and is very stable. I'm not a big fan of bells and whistles- simple is good. Speed is not such a big priority. Do you have any recommendations?
I may also need a bit of guidance when it comes to installation- haven't used adb in quite some time and I've forgotten almost everything. I think I have the latest TWRP (3.0.2).
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Bindroid seems to be down- are those systems out of the question or are there mirrors elsewhere?

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.

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.

Hello,
I am new to this site, and new to this thing, but I am interested to update my HTC one V with some custom ROM (jellybean or higher) and I wanna know some info about which one is the most stable and popular one, with no bugs or trivial bugs.. It is frustrating because they are plenty of ROMs and kernels here.. and what is the difference between AOSP and AOKP version? somewhere I read that aokp is less stable but better... I actually want features included RAM and CPU clocking, because this is the coolest thing in these custom ROMs.. :cyclops:
- I have HTC one V (GSM) rooted and bootloader unlocked
- I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed
- I have official android v4.0.3
so which ROM you guys prefer to me and which kernel that goes along? and is my CWM version ok or I need other one?.. I really want to get more of this phone than I am getting now.. it's a really nice phone but it's a bit lazy when operating tasks, so it's not for impatient users
I am new to this, but I somehow succeeded to root my V, thanks for detailed instructions on this site, so thanks to you guys ..now I just have to update my ROM, and I will be more than happy

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the HTC One V at http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-v. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-v/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good Luck!
Hey, I've just found this device (the LTE variant) under ton of dust in the wardrobe and would like to revive it as my back-up phone. What custom ROM would you recommend for this unit? Does installing nougat make sense, or is 1 GB or ram too little? What would be, in your opinion, the most stable rom that is not touchwiz based? Thank you in advance for all the replies, I've never owned this phone, so I have no idea
In my case, I have nougat (with lineageos 14.1) and it works just perfect for me. I reccomend you to try, if you finally don't like the ROM you can always change, for example, to an Android 5.1 based ROM.
Hey guys sorry If this is in the wrong place, or an idiot faq.
I'm looking for the most stable or popular or well supported rom for a TF300TG. I understand that my mobile connection will not work on this model with custom roms.
I absolutely don't need any special features or speed or the latest version of Android, I just need simplicity and something slightly newer than 4.2.
I have seen Katkiss or perhaps Legacy as suggestions so far.
I haven't installed a custom rom since Cyanogenmod on a Desire HD six years ago. I'm also looking for recommendations for roms for that and a HTC Desire, but I'll go to their relevant boards of course.
Hi all just a few questions as I've not flashed a new Rom or mod in quite some time now
I'm currently using Super Man Rom - V2.8.0 and also running AryaModTweaks which has V4A (Viper4Android) - V2.5.05 inside it.
Just woundering what are the latest and fastest roms available and also what is the best setup for V4A if there is a newer version available. ?????
Cheers In Advance madant2011.

Generally speaking the faster ROM's are the ones that have been stripped back to the bare essentials such as Lineage or similar. It's difficult to say which is the fastest Rom because everyone claims theirs is fastest but it very much depends on what apps you add to your phone. So there is no perfect answer i'm afraid.
