You may also try Virtuous ROMs.. they are quite stable and fast as well.. Also Bindroid is a good option, basically you need to try yourself..

Just out of interest, why did you get the desire S if you had such powerful phones before hand? The nexus S isn't more powerful but the galaxy S II is much more powerful and a much better phone.

I sell the SGS2 befor 1 week.
I am not sure what to buy now so in the mean time I wanted an android phone. :confused:
But only for 2-3 week.So I can decide what to buy between One X/One S or Xperia S or SGS3 . :D

Hi folks.
I've got some time off from work so I can finally play a bit with my new Desire S. I have it for almost a month and didn't even change a thing :p
I've looked into the dev section and there's a ton of ROMS. Previously I had a Legend and the development there was way smaller then here.
Basically I'm looking for a good Sense ROM with some tweaks, OC support and good battery life. Any recommendations? :)
Also, I would like to know if anything goes wrong can I flash it without issues to stock with no signs of unlocking the bootloader etc?

So Endymion will be my furst try ;)
One question - is this normal on the Desire S, that you need to flash boot.img manualy on every ROM when unlocked via HTCdev?

Yes, its as a result of using HTCDEV.

You can attempt to RELOCK, downgrade and then S-OFF using Revolutionary, which will mean that you don't need to do that boot flash separately, but, I'd suggest that you save that for next week, there are several guides that should help....but would suggest that you read them all first.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. Endymion is a stable rom, Primadonna is still "experimental".

A more correct comparison will be. Endymion vs Affinity, i for one use Affinity as a daily driver, but others like Endymion more.

Both of them are stable it's just a question of personal feeling(i think).

Reaper 3.0 is a superb stable ROM too.

I still haven't tried endy yet because Reaper is so good

    I don't use it as I don't really like Sense, but you can't go wrong with Endymion as a ROM.

    My settings:
    awake: 998-245 mhz
    Virtuous governor
    Sleep: 245-122 mhz
    Virtuous governor

    Whoa. If I were You I wouldn't go that low on sleep clock values. There's no real need for it nor any gain in standby time. I use 998 and 245 with reaper for both awake and sleep and I have no batt drop over night. Going lower than 245 You are risking loss of stability.
