Hi Guys,
my Desire was branded by Vodafone...after update on 1.24... i decided to unroot with Unrevoked³...but I just like stock ROMs...don't know why...
I just did an update on 2.2 FroYo using the following
//androidforums.com/htc-desire/148932-froyo-ruu-update-available.html
My device doesn't work right since the the update...
...at least the functions BT WLAN GPS and so on seem to work correctly...but from time to time without touching it or pressing a button my DESIRE jumps from screen to screen...the homebutton doesn't work most of the time and that really s....
Does someone have this probs too or has solutions for this ?
Greatz
Look like your "official" froyo update is not so stable ...
I have a branded vodafone (uk) HTC Desire bought in Netherlands and waiting for the official 2.2 update, i got the f..... vodafone services update of 19.4 mb GRRRRR
I decided to start blindly as a pure novice but today and Thanksfully to Neophytex360 : i managed to get a very stable and fast Froyo desire ROM ==> check for androidspin neophytex360 htc desire roms
Make sure that the goldcard is correctly partitioned, with an ext2 of 512 megas ( paragon partition manager 9 pro ) and then wipe all from the recovery menu ( device have to be rooted ).
Finally flash the rom, flash the last radio if needed ( more stable ) and reboot from the recovery console.
Enjoy your desire as a new customer
thanks for that...i decided to change my device via vodafone and got it yesterday...
i think the buttons were broken...now i have another device and it works great.
Did the OTA update on froyo and i'm satisfied until now...i hope it will keep on like this
" ROM ==> check for androidspin neophytex360 htc desire roms " but i will keep that in mind, maybe it is something for me...
Greats

Hello all!
I'm new to this and I have a few questions.
I have been reading around a little bit but it doesn't help much when you have so many codenames like Eclair, donut, vanilla and now CyanogenMod-5 that I got interested.
I have a HTC Hero, I would wait for HTC update to have Android 2.1 but the update got delayed to June. I don't want to wait 2 months for it and that's how I decided to try flashing it.
1) What are my ROM options to flash it? Is it all of them compatible or just a few ? Like, only Hero-compatible ROMs or ROMs compatible to devices that support Android ?
2) Basically I want Android 2.1 (Eclair, right?) but don't want to lose the HTC UI. Is that possible ? (the look, the widgets, etc..)
3) On the other hand, not only I don't want to lose HTC's UI as I'd like more of it. HTC Desire for example has more and new widgets that Hero doesn't have. Is there a community ROM that contains those ? Do I need a special ROM for that ?
4) Does all the ROMs contains the latest dev kernel versions ? the latest android dev version that is.
5) Does it have an auto update to update the ROM ?
6) What's the difference between Vanilla and Donut ? I see many talking about Vanilla, but shoulnd't I want the Donut instead ? ( sounded funny, I know )
Thank you in advance !
Looking forward to socialize in this forum.

1. Only HTC Hero rom's should be flashed (if you're not on Sprint Hero then you're GSM so look for GSM rom's = most) - the wiki has a page dedicated to which rom's are available.
2. HTC theme is called rosie, so look for a rosie enabled rom
3. Some extra widgets come with them - check with each release (you can find them all in the development section)
4. No, most are based upon leaked kernals which have been hacked together to work, they work well enough but as soon as the official 2.1 kernal is available for the hero it will be added in to the rom's
5. Some have OTA updates (e.g. VillainROM)
6. Vanilla just means without the HTC Sense UI (Rosie) so you don't want a vanilla rom. Donut is v1.5 (or maybe 1.6?) of android i believe.
And welcome to the community
Check out my guides for all your needs XD

Thank you! that helped tons!
One more question, mine is not Sprint Hero, just Hero
So it's certain that this is a GSM device ?
How can I tell if it's GSM or CDMA ?
gsm means u can use any sim card
cdma means u cant
Awesome. So mine must be GSM.
Now, what is Radio ROM ?
What is Radio ? Do I have to flash that as well ?
EDIT: I think I get it. It can improve the signal, yes ?
But is it safe to flash this? what are my restrictions?
Looks much more dangerous than flashing a custom ROM
Ok, much more complicated than I thought!
I need to downgrade my kernel first,
didn't find any up to date tutorials on that
only then I need to root and finally flash it
I installed this " ROM Manager " where you have some easy options:
Install ROM from SD card, Download Rom, Check for ROM Updates
just with a click (tap)
That one is easier, but does it work ? How come noone mentions this ROM Manager ?
That are many ROMs to choose..
I take it VillainROM 5.4 is the most popular/older ?
As long as it has Android 2.1 plus the latest Sense UI (not vanilla) then the number of options get trimmed a bit (or so I hope)

Its not too difficult, follow BTDAG's guide in my signature, its bang on. Install custom recovery, flash ROM.
No you do not need to downgrade your kernal. When you flash the ROM it will sort that out for you.
As for using 2.1 ROMs, I haven't taken the plunge yet, I'm using MCR3.2 which is a tweaked fast and stable 1.5 ROM.
You're right, btdag's guide did it for me. Very very useful.
Since I didn't have to worry about kernel, it wasn't thaaat hard.
I already installed VillainRom 5.4 and it's great !
Thanks for answering my questions !
Greetings all..
I just bought a SAM Ace.. i had a Htc Magic then a X10 mini and now i turned to SAM.. heard that it was a good machine.. so..
I've been using XDA to root, and install new roms to my previous phones..
But in this SAM, unfortunately i am a bit conserned.. So can any1 help me in this questions:
: I'm running Ginger 2.2.3 updated throug Kies
1 - My mobile is sim locked.. i can't use any other sim.. I already searched that is possible to (root) the phone and then install an apk that unlocks the sim lock.. has any1 tried this? is it safe?
2 - I'm a bit worried to (root) this phone, does any1 report any problem after with network, battery and general stability of the device?
3 - Is the best stable official rom at the moment the one i have now or is there a better one ? Though Kies i can't find the 2.2.4v u guys are talking about.. so .. This isn't really an official rom right?
4- Since i've got my phone from Vodafone, it has some operator aps that i don't really use and they are using needed space, is there a way to remove them somehow.. like.. instaling a official rom from elsewere, but still upgradable through Kies? Or do i really need to (root) the device? After rooted, can i still install a official 2.2.3 rom.. but.. without all the operator crap?
5 - There are a few custom roms as i can see, i used to use de Cyanogen in my X10 mini, but i had some issues with sending and receiving mms.. , at the moment.. is there any stable and fully operational roms ? including the mms solved problems..? cof cof.. and good battey usage time ?
6 - Sorry for any bad english.
Thank you !!
Welcome to the community!
For question 4,I have used 2.2.1 and 2.3.4.felt ok except the wifi died occasionally which was a documented problem.
For question 5,I am currently on cyanogen but its a rc version.I am quite happy with it as performance boosted.but it came at the price of battery life.haven't tried mms though
Sent from supercharged cyanogen7ace
Try to use cyanogen for the rom.

1. No idea although I don't see why it wouldn't be safe.
2. Rooting is easy. Like everything else, be careful and follow instructions to the T and you'll have no problems.
3. Correct. There is no 2.3.4 update through Kies...I think. Plug your phone in and find out.
4. If you want to remove bloatware, root your device and use Root Unistaller. Alternatively, flash a new ROM.
5. There are two variants of CM7.1 at the moment. One was made by BehradGH the other by Grif_07. Both work wonderfully.
6. It wasn't that bad =]

1.
You should really be cautious when trying to unlock your phone. A lot of people bricked their phone by doing this. Since I have no personal experience in this; all I can do is direct you to threads on XDA but I'm too lazy to look them up for you so I suggest you to use "search".
Thanks to those who answered..

I am using Icecream Sunday by Jusada. It's an ICS themed CM7.1 ROM but it has been stripped down to the bear minimum. Jusada initially made it as a foundation ROM for developers to then customize as they saw fit but it has become very popular amongst forum members as a day-to-day ROM. It is very stable and more importantly (for me) it is FAST!
Also, because it has been stripped down, I have noticed a lot better battery time.
Granted, the battery life on almost all Android phones is crap, but if you're looking to be more conservative with power and increased speed, use Icecream Sunday.
So to answer your question - I get about half a day's SOLID use from my battery.
As far as MMS goes, I am not sure. You'd have to ask one of the devs.
Hope that's helped

Welcome to XDA!
1) It can be quite tricky to unlock the Ace, and can brick/reset it. First check if it really is locked.
2) There's risk involved in rooting, but it's minimal - if you follow the instructions. There are pros and cons of rooting, but the pros outweigh the cons.
3) Kies sucks IMO, so you're better off upgrading with ODIN. Look in this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167.
4) The best way to remove the bloatware/crapware is by rooting and then uninstalling them, or by flashing a custom ROM.
5) There are a lot of stable ROMs available, take your pick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194358, there's supposed to be an official Cyanogen for Ace(cooper) in the works, but if you can't wait that long, I recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263292
Also have a look at some useful info:

it was a fascinate Rom alright , didnt like it ED05 EH18
but since then i am not able to odin anything , either it stops at recovery or some other point, but mostly at recovery .
i can access the download mode , but odin flashing isnt possible now, no matter which STOCK rom i use they arent getting thru , always get stuck at this or that point.
plz help

are you familiar with ADB? you can push a stock image file that way... cayanogen website has a great tutorial on it.
TBH I am not familiar with adb at all .
but the issue was resolved , looks like my usb cable was the culprit and man !! i wasted the whole night trying to figure that out ( and LOL that too was suggested by wife )
yeah i know
btw DS , could u temme which is the better ICS build and kernel now
this all happened with me getting bored og GB
actually i thought of flashing TEAMHACKSUNG's latest ICS build , somehow when i was transferring it to sd card , nothing was happening so i forcefully removed the cable and tried a few times , but it failed , In the end managed to transfer it via WIN 7 ( previously was using XP )
but when i flashed it via CWM , following proper procedure it failed , i donno what was that and my ordeal started .
and now XP wont recognise the phone neither in ODIN nor in mass storage , so doing it all via win 7
appreciate the help.

The latest THS (7.1) has a few bugs still since it is new. I have been running 6.5 for well over a month with no problems. I don't have any experience with AOKP, but there are many people who choose it over THS. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Ths is like vanilla, and aokp is like...... Well it has more ability to customize than about any rom i have seen.

Aokp 28 w/ glitch 14 b6 is the best combination of rom/kernel I have ever used...no reboots, no lag, no sod's, good battery life, and customization like you cant imagine.
Thats great !!
have some specific suggestions or advise ? coz i have never ever flashed any NON TOUCHWIZ ROM till date
or may be outline the process in short , ( btw awesome guide you hav got in general )

Hey Guys i got my Desire X today and its a great device just loved it . So update me with the development ongoing . First i want to root my DX so found an easy article instead of the hason2000 toolkit here it is http://bit.ly/SgMpSf
So, has anyone tried this and what about CWM, Kernel, Rom progress...update me with everything guys i hav no idea whats going on around. Thnks
Well the toolkit works( great job hasoon) CWM is a bit buggy but works too. There's a full sense ROM by The Android Manual, no download link yet, and there's a CyanogenMod 9 port by Lloir, also a great job.
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium
Uhm, let's put things into perspective : there's a cwm recovery image that works, but no ROM's that pass muster. The CM9 that loirr did is a very first test-build, that's waiting to be picked up by someone with a Desire X to fully develop, test and fix, and the other one, a full sense stock rom by Android Manual, that isn't available for download.
In short : there's no custom ROMs at the moment.
