Root Good rom for Desire HD

Any suggestions for a nice clean fast Sense 3.0 or 2.1 rom for the HD?

I've tried the Coredroid rom, but the blue colour scheme isn't my thing. I've heard that Viortuous Unity has been having problems.

Any other big ones?

LeeDrOiD is amazing for the DHD, IMHO of course. Can have it in Sense 2.1 or Sense 3.0 flavour.

I'm uploading the latest build with both the latest Kernels too as well as both Sense 3.0 options and the recommended Radio and an easy step by step CMD based installer.

I'll pop the link to download from here shortly. It'll be a Rapidshare download so nice and quick. Check back in 20 mins :D
 
I tried leedroid, but I found Android revolution HD smoother and quicker! I'm now using honeysense HD 8, its amazingly slick!
 
LeeDROID is good stuff plus he just released the new version yesterday & it runs as smooth & as fast as ever! Try it & you wont be sorry
 
can anyone recommend which type of kernel to go for the BFS or CFS? and which sense add on is best rosie or non rosie. can almost guarantee ill do what i always do and try out this rom and end up going back to cm7 ,lol, but got to try :-)
 
Personally I use CFS as it just never seems to stumble like the BFS can causing a drop in performance. I've tried them both and tried to stick it out with BFS but even Lee has made the CFS Kernel the default one again.

As far as Sense 3.0 (Rosie) goes I've just had a good few days with it on 3.3.1 and flashed alongside 3.3.2 and have to say its buggers your battery and I'm literally just about to restore my Nand backup prior to putting it on. I will however be trying the Kingdom Non Rosie alternative shortly afterwards. So thats what I'd suggest you go for.

I reckon you should just flash the Sense 2.1 ROM and live with that for a week (having calibrated your battery) and see how you feel. If you like it then go onto experimenting with Sense 3.0. What I do know is that Lee does have in the pipeline a v6 version of the Rosie Sense 3.0 AIO. So it will give you chance to see if that arrives first.

I'm running Virtuous 1.31 and it is very very good, smooth and fast. Not putting any of the other roms down, as I have had them all on my phone, one time or another.

Just to let you know, the only constant post by some, not all, is the greater battery drain since the last update. The team is looking into it. I was getting a full day with lots to spare on the last update, but have seen it drop to just barely getting a day now, (14-16 hours moderate use).

Great thing about android and rooting your phone is, you get to choose what you want. Have fun and try all the roms, as we are very fortunate to have many good devs creating roms for the DHD.
 
As a further update I'm going to have the latest ARHD build/KERNEL/RADIO/add-ons and guide uploaded if you fancy that one. Their thread on XDA is so congested might be worth you downloading that than trying to navigate it.

Just to add that I will also be updating the LeeDrOiD to 3.3.3 as well tonight. Unless you just want the link to the ROM rather than downloading the entire file again from sig link : https://rapidshare.com/files/1155989364/LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB.zip

have you tried this updated rom with sense 3.0 yet? or you still using 2.1. flashing tonight.
cheers
 
I have been using Sense 3.0 v4 Non-Rosie on 3.3.3 as I use Launcher Pro and didn't need to tinker with the 3d scroll of the Sense homescreens and all is good :D Would never want to stop using it like that now as I love the SMS view and the SMS backup function and other minor things I find sweet and the polished sense 3.0 additions go really well with the fly-in animations contained in 3.3.3 as standard.

I have also tried out the Sense 3.0 AIO and it works fine if you don't use a custom launcher.

I switched to LeeDroid last night. Not tried any of the Sense 3.0 stuff as I've widgetlocker and Go SMS installed so I'm not overly fussed about it at the moment, I may flash some of the stuff later.

Whilst I like what sense can do, I'm not overly keen on some of the default themes so I'll have a play about here once I've calibrated my battery.

It's not as slick as CM7, but the one thing I'll give LeeDroid over CM7 is battery life. It is superb.

Thanks Stublake! It's nice to see these kind of things over here on our forum. I always hesitate to send people over to the XDA Forum to look for things, since with "Operation Iron Fist" in effect, they're not real tolerant of noobs and their questions. :)
