Hey guys ive been using VillainRom since i rooted my phone and current running the latest 6.2.1 However i thought yesterday it would be worth trying out some different roms.
I tried Cronos Droid, but didnt see any difference at all.
Any1 actually recommend any roms and can give reasons why? At the moment VR is very quick, OCable, and has all the features i can want. (I know it seems stupid as to why i may want to move if i have everything, but feel like i may be missing something)
That new SenseHero could be good as his last one got alot of praise,...
I'm also happily using Villain6,....
Might give the other one a bash later.

LOL,... YEAH RIGHT!?!!
Just flashed SenseHero,... Seems very good on 1st impressions, actually seems a little smoother than Villain,... But its got something called "Autokiller" installed which might be a factor.
The ONLY downside so far (be it a teeny weeny issue) is that there isn't something to show which homescreen I'm currently viewing. But I'l probably forget I even had that after a while.
Looks quite good to be honest.
which version of Sense did u install?
Im just backing up using titanium for my apps and bits before i start switching (already have my nandroid)
Gonna try SuperHero first.
Hi,
I'm tired of waiting htc to release the new 2.1.. so I want to install a custom ROM.
What I need:
- speed
- stability
- OC enabled
- good battery life
- vanilla Android 2.1 (eg: white notification bar)
- gallery 3D w/o bugs
- HTC keyboard
- HTC Dialer (if not, i can use DialerOne)
- HTC browser 2.1
- working GPS
- flash (lite) support
- snooze/dismiss alarm via lockscreen. snooze alarm via volume buttons
What I don't need:
- Apps2SD
- JIT cos it's buggy ATM
What do you recommend me?
Thanks

Well if it is, he's done a better job than it's own dev's.
I found villainROM to have quite a few bugs.
Although senseHERO still has a few bugs they're minor compared to the ones i had running on villain, and Sense has a smoother,friendlier UI hence the change over.
Both good, solid ROM's in they're own right but for me it's sticky's work that wins it.
Sorry villain team.
You might pull me back one day.
Different strokes for different folks.

Hey Rose lovers!
I got bored with my Rose since no one is still coming out with a WM 6.5 ROM for our Roses. So, upon searching about how to bring a new life to this little beauty, I came across this:
http://community.pointui.com/topic/smartphone-without-touchscreen-supported#post-37071
It's not working 100% (as some applets only work with touch screen), but it's working pretty well.
Love my rose even more now.
Default Theme:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

using it for 3 weeks. why afraid? it's a commercial application and completely safe which you can uninstall if you don't like it. I didn't do any hack or something. it just works on WM Standard.

I've downloaded the latest Home 2 Pro Build 2.1.06c. You can choose the version you want here.
The latest PointSense 2.0 is only applicable for Touch-screen phones. I'm using the older version, PointSense Suite 1.1.0.1. I just use the applets, not the bottom bar (which is usable for touch-screen devices only).
Hi
Thank u!
But it does not work well on my device.
When i choose pointsense on customize theme
it reboots pointui but the old theme is still there.
Also the previously mentioned prob are still present.
i use
pointui home free 2.x
pointsense 1.x
currently the best choice is still original htc rose theme of htc.
small - fast - everything is on view.
How is the battery life with pointui? anyone using s743? I've used pointui a few months back (actually I am the one who posted the fix for Settings button - michaeln) on my s743 and the battery life was bad. Normally my s743 lasts for about 2 days with casual use, with pointui it would last about 10hrs. I've tried different applets that helped some what but really nothing that would make me continue using poinui. was disappointed, really nice interface, but battery life was more important than good looks.
*Disclaimer*
In no shape way or form am I responsible if you brick your own phone...somehow. This is the kind of thing you do at your own risk. Also, please go easy on me as this is my very first ROM and I have been working on it for almost 2 weeks.
This little beauty is just something thrown together in no specific order.
it is a non-sense 2.1 hence no flash player so don't ask about it as i may just use sense as my next attempt but we will see.
This is really meant just to be something I like but I posted up here for a few friends abroad that I know want it.
and dont forget you do NEED ROOT!
Release 2 {this is a bare essentials ROM)
-ADW launcher added
-kept gallery 3D as I enjoy it (included both for those who love it)
-dev tools and spare parts working
-fixed the bad xml so all market apps work
-updated adhosts file so hopefully no ads
-all the great ringtones we know and love plus the stock as well
-apps2sd support just not for ext4
-added netcat as busybox wasn't enough for me
known issues
-wifi tether not working ... (removed for now)
-crappy camera from older UIs
-keyboard no ? or /

Flashed this rom and here is what I found:
Bluetooth is working, WiFi is not; unable to start.
Camera working with flash.
Hard keyboard works except:
No lights. No FN and Shift indicator. no ? or /
Ive tried both radio images (7.09.35.10 and 7.08.35.04)
Neither seem stable, my connections bounces from 3G to H(HSPDA?) and back.
I was barely able to sign into Google. (build.prop issue?)

Good to see some more chefs appearing after most of the old ones went over to nand. So, what distinguishes your build, specifically from Copenhagen's?

Data is working 95% flawlessly on PPP.
APN properly set for T-Mo
DNS info properly set for T-Mo and it's apps
used different firmware in a couple instances
NO ROBO VOICE CRAP
A few other small things, fully up to 1/24 CM7 is another point.
Overall this works better for me than copen's original did.
Why is the file extension .exe?
Uh, why is this an EXE?
Nevermind .exe, its just a 7-zip auto-extractor.

Ok how do I instal this I'm a noob with HD 2
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
install and boot from magldr
i want to now how you install and boot from magldr im not really getting it
downloading now.. cant wait to try this bad boy
downloaded. starting up now. will post with any errors.
This is one of the fastest Android systems I've used. It scores 1670 on Quadrant. Ive had tested others which score higher (into the 2k range), but this one just seems sooo much quicker. Only thing I've found that I don't like is that some apps dont fill the screen(the slidelock screen, pandora, speed test). I am not used to such a small dpi and having a case on the phone makes it hard to drag down the notification bar, but that may be from my sausage fingers. Also, I cant seem to be able to pin an app shortcut onto the desktop with a long press. Doesnt seem to be an option for it like other roms I've tried. But so far I am liking it, but it will take some time to get used to.
Edit: I figured out how to drop an app on the desktop. Silly me. Longpress on the app from the menu and simply drop it onto the homescreen. So much easier!!!!!!!!!!
Will give it a spin
Alright glad to see some gb hitting the threads especially on sd --I am running cope's now will give this one a try downloading now its late will work on it tomorrow Thanks for the work
I have installed on my EU HD2 but how to make mobile data working?
Tnx for the build!
Just been playing around a bit on the latest. Incorporated copenhagens fix for su....but I'm gonna give things another go around seeing about getting it perfect....kinda a workaround at the moment.
T-Mobile US users will likely be the only ones capable of using my builds as stated before. Data is working flawlessly in this build.
Tomorrows update will include at least the such fix, Facebook added back in, possible progress towards kineto , and who knows what else.....

Hello,
westerday J install cyanogen mod7 2.3.1 (but bug sms), this morning install this ROM but data not working. SFR in french. Why?
Thankyou.
Hello all, been a while since I've posted. I have been working hard on the sidelines on a completely themed CM7 that feels acceptable to me. This is about as completely themed as it comes for me.
First off, on this copy I did remove many extra .apks I never use including DSP manager, development, wallpapers, the ability to change themes within the ROM, and a few other things I think.
As per previous experience I did leave the browser in (even though I never use it).
I did add a few items over time I have grown to not be able to live without, custom font is one of them. I spent a lot of time converting the ringtones from the MyTouch 4G and made them all compatible with the MyTouch 3G Slide. I have incorporated then into the various ringtones and alarms available to the Slide. I even added a few 'ringtones' to the notification audios so now longer notifications are available to those who want it! In addition I updated most the 'bland' settings icons with more 3D/colored ones.
In the notification bar, you will notice I have added completely custom and high quality color icons which do include some that I customized myself.

I waited so long to post this because I don't plan on doing updates to this ROM, this version of the nightly works flawlessly on my phone and I do not plan on updating for some time now. Though I will post an optional version 2 in a day or so without all the apks deleted for those of you that like to have the entire ROM.

Thank you for your work. This looks good. I may try this. I've found CM7 to be unstable for me so I've still been on Cyanoginger 1.2 (CM6.1.1) which has been the most stable for me. I may wipe extra to try this out. . . . . and use it until the Gingerbread roms with Sense features become stable. I really miss Sense.
looks pretty nifty, i'll give it a spin as soon as i have some time on my hand.
Everything seems to be working pretty good. The theme kinda bothers my eyes, but it still looks pleasant.
i was sold when i saw witchblade...im flashing it now!
how's the GPS working?

I forgot to mention that I flashed this without wiping and everything is working.
Just curious, how does the theme bother your eyes? I only changed icons in it.
Icons are nice, I just think they're kinda big. The font is probably mostly it. Is it Caviar Dreams? I flashed that on a rom myself during the original CR_OTA days. I like it, though. I'd just have the font a tad smaller, too.
I'm diggin' the rom.
Is this stable enough to be a daily driver? Currently on ineffablis deus 1.02 and loving it. Just curious
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Very stable, there's a few fixes you need to apply but I haven't had it crash on me yet
For the most part everything that you need works, what most devs are workin on are either get a good senless/vanila ICS port, with out the ui issues, and tweaks to make the rom faster and battery life longer.

I use the rom as a daily driver and personally, the bugs are something I could live with for awhile. Some of the bugs you can fix yourself. The main bugs that I've found are:
1. acore fc's constantly (flash this in bootloader)
2. MMS doesn't work (install go sms)
3. Gmail fc's when composing (install one of the many apk's on the main thread)
4. Settings fc's when clicking "about phone" (no fix atm)
5. FaceUnlock doesn't work (no fix atm)
For now, I can live with them. If I were you I'd flash the rom. It's amazing and buttery smooth!
Thanks Dave and everyone who responded. Very good responses. Time to flash it!!

so is it just a script over ineffablis?
I would wait just a bit until they fix more stuff. I love Vanilla ICS, had it on my Dinc, and it really made that phone a new beast and fly! The issues/bugs however kept me from going Vanilla so I stick'd to JoelZ and his Rom (GREAT ROM!!!). Phone is EXTREMELY smooth and silk. Made a couple of changes to make it look/feel like Vanilla but without the issues. I would stick to what you have or modify it to make it close to Vanilla ICS. Only real big thing im missing is the ICS Dialer (best dialer IMO for Android).

I still say use the Sense'd version and De-Sense using the De-Sense script in the dev section. It worked very well for me on Scott's ROM and even gives you the stock ICS MMS app.
I downloaded the newest version and now when I go to the market it says my apps are not comparable with this version? Any ideas?
