[Q] Which custom rom to install

---

Hi,

First of all i would like to congratulate everyone for carrying out such a great forum... have gone through many threads and learned a lot about android and wildfire capabilities

I am now looking forward to install a custom rom. However, I am confused about which of these two custom roms to install

--- 1 is wildpuzzle with transparent lock screens
--- 2 is cyanogen mod 7.0.3 or anyone having any other better option

I dont know the pros and cons of these roms and what different they have ( only that wildpuzzle has htc sense and is very similar to stock rom)

my needs:-
-good signal strength ( i use airtel)
-fast and should be smooth
- not have bugs

- Signal strength on both will be same. It depends on the Radio really, not the ROM.
- Both are fast and smooth for their respective builds.
- Cyanogenmod will have comparatively more bugs, because it is a scratch GB build from stock, and, WildPuzzle is basically a modified Stock ROM with many additional features. But, Cyanogenmod offers more features than Sense ROMs, and you have the advantage of the latest Android build (2.3.4 ATM)

In the end, it really boils down to whether you want Sense or not. Personally, I would advice you to try out Cyanogenmod, because, really, it has infused new life (for me, atleast) in the Wildfire, which I would never have thought possible with Sense.

One Question

What is HTC Sense? What extra does it do to wildfire....

It's their custom interface, like Samsung's TouchWiz. Basically, all you "see" on the stock ROM is HTC Sense - It is like an additional layer over Stock Android.

Extra's it does:
- Allows HTC Apps to run, like Camera, Contacts, Messaging, FM Radio etc
- Allows HTC Widgets
- "Looks" different than Stock Android

Disadvantages
- Potentially slower on the Wildfire, given its weak specs
- No JIT
- This is based on opinion - but, it doesn't provide the Stock Android experience.
