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.

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.

hi
i have a htc hero with official latest rom, which custom rom is the best to update to
also what is main diffierence between custom rom and official rom
and please do reply
thanks
Read the threads in this forum, they've listed pros/cons and instructions on how to install as well as what's included in each.
The choices you have are:
- MoDaCo 2.6 (from a happy tradition of about 15 releases since about the start of September)
- Drizzy's Hero ROM (One version released, now unmaintained)
- Drizzy's Hero Blur Port (0.6-r2, maintained by other users on this forum and Drizzy himself now I think, it's a port of the Motorola Blur UI on to the Hero platform)
- Donut ION Port (Plain jain Android Donut build on the Hero)
If you want a good user experience that's an improvement of the HTC Hero builds, definitely without doubt get Modaco 2.6, but if youre into bug tracking, fixing, hacking and development give one of the others a go and help the community I guess.
ok thank you is it really worth going to modaco from offical rom? also will it still be same android os?
thanks
Well, you have to make up your mind yourself, but I'd say absolutely without a doubt.
I'm not sure what HTC Rom you have at the moment, but the original ROM was terrible, just attrocious, and Modaco's ROM (1.5 at the time, I think), was a god send. And its just been getting better even since.
Put Amons Hero recovery image v1.2.3 on, get it to partition your SD card correctly ready for Apps2sd, then get Pauls MCR 2.6 rom on your phone, you wont regret it
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 !
hey guys for a long time coming now i finally flashed my gs2 with alienware which i thought was a cool rom till the camera app failed and the calculated app failed. iv seen a new rom call the villain rom with the ninephetamine kernel and has the spb shell 3d launcher on which looks amazing can anyone shed light on wear i can get this rom from plus when i come to install it what is the best way of doing it over the custom rom i have got now would be gratefull as the alien rom was the first one iv ever done thanks
If you can't even find a ROM thread, you shouldn't for a moment consider flashing it if someone actually does link you to it (which I really hope they don't).
This is a development site, not a <insert some witty insult here> site.
Since the newest thread with a similar title is from December last year, I'm starting a new one.
I've set a goal to port a Sense 3.6 ROM from the HTC Rezound to my Sony Xperia S.
I'll be using this tutorial; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245786
So far, I only have data.
The Rezound ROM is ICS, so I'll be using CM9 for BASE.
But from my experience, Xperia ROMs always have an additional folder that no other manufacturer has.
Question here is, do I send that folder to PORTED or do I leave it out? Last time I tried this (with an AOSP ROM, it didn't matter 'cause it wouldn't boot up anyways...)
Another thing that worries me is whether radios will ever work. I know the chipset is exactly the same in both phones, but the Rezound is a CDMA device. Or is it? I have no idea, but I know I read everything I could on the Rezound.
So if anyone could please answer these questions, I'll be moving onto porting.
Thanks!
I think to get that working you really need some skills. The sense project for xperia is stuck in the nirvana
But good luck
You could try to build one rom including the folder and one without it. I'm not sure because I don't know which files are stored in that folder...

Good evening,
I have started to work on porting Slim ICS rom to our Streak 5. Slim ROM is really fast and smooth on older HTC devices, so I think we can get good performance by using this rom on our Streak too.
I ported this rom from HTC One X Slim ICS ROM to base Kibuuka´s AOSP ICS ROM.
Unfortunately, I´ve got bootloop at boot animation. I can see boot animation, but it looping the same tasks (see logcat).
So that´s why I want to ask for help with developing of this rom. I´m noob, I can´t fix that problem.
Thanks for any help
ROM (only 64 MB!!!)
Sorry, I cant give you link, i have less then 10 posts. If you want to help me, write PM, i will send you link (dropbox)
try help

You should use rom from device which have same spec as dell streak (see the chipset, gpu and cpu).
HTC One X rom will never ever can boot on dell streak.
Try port rom from HTC Nexus One, HTC Desire, HTC Evo 4g..
