You will need to root your device, http://www.drakaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=344
install recovery http://www.drakaz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=680
And choose the best rom for you .
And install it http://code.google.com/p/gaosp/wiki/PublicBeta
If you want froyo build use gaosp 2 beta 3.
If you want gingerbread use gingerbread nightly build.
Thanks
Thanks. Just installed it. (gingerbread)
It was a hassle though: SDCard wasn't accessible on Windows 7 machine. Worked on XP.
Now googling how to get my market to work.

Hi guys;
I have several question about this magnificent phone:
1) Right now I have GingerBlur version 2 Installed (with root +recovery mod). What do I need to do in order to install version 3.5?
2) Is there IGO for android users?
Have a nice weekend
(1) You should restore to original SBF 4.1.26 then update and follow 3.5 version update instruction
(2) I'm not yet trying it, pls wait others
Thank you man
What about the second question?
There's a great version of IGo for Android. It hasn't been skinned for the Atrix, though
Hello there,
I recently changed from symbian to android.....Can some help me on how to apply themes in wildfire ...especially this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060333
Theming is very different in Android compared to Symbian. What you see there requires a Custom ROM with a Theme Chooser App inbuilt into it.
So, if you have a Custom ROM (Cyanogenmod 7 or Ginger Yoshi), then just install it, and choose via Theme Chooser.
Obviously, you will need root for it, which will not be possible via software if you are on Android 2.2.1
then if i update to 2.2 can i root?
No. Please read again. If you are 2.2 you can NOT root.
Until down to 2.1, most people stuck wit dis take time to read around, you'll find your
ok mine is 2.1 and am planning root it and use cyanogen mod...after doing this am gonna install the samsung touchwiz by rolle..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709763
will this provided touchwiz file work with wildfire without the need for rooting...?
if so ill updatet to 2.2 officially and install this launcher..plzz guide me
Its under the Nexus One Forum, so its unlikely it will work. There is some user who has developed TouchWiz for the Wildfire, and you can find it at the Wildfire Android Development Forum (Just use Search).
As for root, I don't know whether it will work without root or not, but, I would personally recommend you to not update to official 2.2.1 because you will lose the ability to root (Even if you do not intend to install Custom ROMs - At this point of time), and you will have to stick with the stock functionality, meaning you will not be able to change your mind later about installing root apps and Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod.
Of course, if you are 101% convinced you will never require root and Custom ROMs, you are welcome to update to official 2.2.1
thanks alot for the advice ...i decided to root and install CM7 rom....can you provide me the link for the touchwiz file for wildfire...ill search for it too...
Good idea in not going for the official 2.2.1 update. It will atleast keep your options open for alternatives, even if CM7 doesn't suit you.
Anyway, here is Touchwiz for Wildfire.

Hello,
I planned on trying some ROMS for the 2.3 Gingerbread and already downloaded some in the Dev area of the forum. I'm currently running 2.1 in my x10i and downloaded the necessary tools for the update. However, then I connected my x10 to my PC and ran SE PC Companion hoping to get the latest drivers for FlashTool. I got a prompt that a new update that is available (which is not surprising considering I want to try 2.3) but was stomped when I saw the software number (for lack of better term).
Now, I'm hesitant on doing an update since this update might mess up my upgrade from 2.1 to 2.3. Could somebody enlighten me on what this update does?
After doing further browsing I found out that this is the baseband update for the 2.3. I don't understand tho why it doesn't come up in the search when I tried the search function of the forum.
Anyway, would it be safer for me to update through PC Companion or do a direct flash since my 2.1 is already rooted?
You want to update to Gingerbread and install custom ROM or just install custom ROM from Eclair?
I'd like a rom that's closest to the stock first before trying any custom roms since I'm just new to Android and wouldn't want to mess up my phone due to me being a noob at this.
I've already downloaded the TEAM rom & some others but would like to see how my phone works with stock then move on from there.
So you should upgrade to Android 2.3.3 first through PC Companion, try it for few days and learn how Android works. Then you can install custom ROM if you want.
Hi! I have an Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread HCL ME X1 Tablet. I successfully rooted it all manually by using ADB and installed "su" and superuser tools. I manually installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5 by using Terminal. Then I created ClockWorkMod Recovery 5 full backups. I have the factory reset ClockWorkMod Recovery backup of a fresh Stock which came from Carrier. Doesn't contains any defect. The Carrier/Company won't release any further upgrades, and is not giving any original stock ROM.
All I ask with due patience and respect, to guide me to manually build an Upgrade ROM from 2.3.3 to 2.3.7 or from 2.3.3 to 3.0 Honeycomb. I would certainly require original company device drivers and factory files from the the backup. I won't mind any type of comment. Can this new 2.3.7/3.0 upgrade ROM be built from the older 2.3.3 ROM, manually? Please guide me step by step. Tell me the tools, configuration, drivers, kernel, etc. If you need any other information, please ask and I will inform I won't use update.zip flashing, instead I would manually flash/copy the images via ClockWorkMod Recovery/ADB console. Hope my friends guide me.

2.3.3 to has barely any changes. And 3.0 was not open sourced until recently, it will be very hard to make your own ROM from this

It will be my first ever try, if 2.3.7 is easier to build as an upgrade to my 2.3.3 android, please let me learn the steps and knowledge to do it. Currently, I haven't found any information regarding how to manually build an upgrade from an older version Backup image files, to a brand new version. I could at least try with your guidance and then learn the things which will come handy in building 3.0 and 4.0 Android + ROMs.

Is there any site that i can find out to which models can i official and unofficial install the new android 4.0.3 or newest?
A lot of thanks.
clockworkmod.com and under rom manager it will show you all roms for your phone. if your unrooted google it
I would say this is the best site for that. Just find your phone and see if it has been developed for it. 4.0 can't run on everything without a bit of tweaking on a phone by phone basis. The developers on here do that for you.
It is hard to unlock any android mobile phone to install it a rom that is unofficial and if it is easy BEFORE i installed the new unofficial rom is there a way to make a COMPLETE BACKUP of the android phone so anytime i want i can make a COMPLETE RESTORE to factory defaults with official android version.
A LOT OF THANKS FOR ALL.

Device compatible with CM9 are Android 4.0.3 IceCreamSandwich
To which sites i can see the OFFICIAL android 4.0.3 supported mobiles phones?
The samsung galaxy s plus i9001 does it support it?
And if don't where is the way to install an unofficial android 4.0.3 for samsung galaxy s plus i9001 phone?
Not as such...
I haven't found any comprhensive listing of ICS ROMS + supported devices.
Your best bet is to start from your device and find which ROM's (if any) are out for it. Some devices may never get support, some already have it, some are in between.
Much as I love Cyanogenmod, I can't get a functional CM9 (that is, ICS by Cyanogen) that will work on my Nexus S 4G. But I did find a list of ROM's for Nexus S 4G and by elimination found one that works flawlessly.
Be careful, follow steps closely, and RTFM first!
