[ROM] Desired AOSP RC1 [9th May] - 75MB of pure Google love - NOT CM7 based

This looks interesting. I shall be trying it as soon as I get round to downgrading etc
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErOR22:
Latest stable release of CM7 is awesome! Very light and fast ROM.

The ROM mentioned above is interesting but I haven't tried it yet.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blinkydamo:
This is a very good rom however it has a bluetooth issue at the moment, hopefully it'll get fixed soon. If like me you can live without bluetooth the I highly recommended this rom.

+1 for cyanogen concretly 7.0.3, AOSP fast, symple and intuitive.. like linux distros :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gheddo61:
i have already tested a lot of roms and must say tha CM7 is the best one to go !

i just replaced the cm7-keyboard with smartkeyboard because i dont like the small black letters^^

[Droid X General] crobs808:
Was about to try flashing from OTA 2.3.340 to a custom Rom (Apex 1.4.1). I rooted my phone, and installed Koush's bootstrap program for the DroidX. I read somewhere though that I needed to use the Koush's Droid2 version of the bootstrapper if I was planning to flash to a Gingerbread ROM....is that true? I have already made a backup with the Droid X boostrapper and ready to flash unless I need to get the Droid2 boostrapper.

Thank you
[Droid X General] crobs808:
Bummer - runs WAY hot on Apex 1.4.1, and is much more glitchy/slow to respond than stock :(

Trying Liberty 1.5 now...
[Droid X General] owenbeals:
You will use dxbootstrap to flash the gb rom if coming from froyo... Then once ur on gingerbread ull use d2bootstrap
[Droid X General] Massgainer:
The word is that the OTA gingerbread update comes out in about a week. I plan on not flashing again until afterwards since there will be so many true gingerbread choices just after it drops. Something to think about
[Droid X General] crobs808:
Yep, I tried Apex, Liberty, Rubix, Fission, Gingerale, and a few others and none of them came close to being as responsive as the new OTA that I flashed today. Again, I am greatly impressed by how the stock rom trounces all the rest, despite all the other developers best efforts.

The highest freemem I got on a 3rd party rom was around 200. The last stock rom was 285, and this one is around 235 on average when I am not doing 10 things at once. Also, the Quadrant benchmark is highest on the stock, and I am not even overclocking.

First time I have ever had a phone where the stock releases were the best ROMs. Crazy.
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
That is...weird. I'm on Liberty GB .6 (and previously on .5), and it's super fast. Every other comment I've heard about them (that I can think of) say the same thing. Maybe try sbf'ing back to .340, and start fresh with GB?
[Droid X General] crobs808:
Nah. Already SBF'd during the process of going between the multiple ROMs to ensure I was getting a clean phone and giving each ROM a fair chance (I am a QA engineer, so I never do a dirty install or upgrade when I have the option to go clean 0 I am too OCD for that.)

Also, the Motoblur interface, as it comes from Motorola allows me to be FAR more productive than Sense or any Sense/Blur combination that the other ROMs attempt to emulate. I experienced no performance increase using the Liberty toolbox, or the various Gummyjar enhancements floating around. I think all the comments about ROMs being faster than the stock and mostly psychological/placebo, and not based on empirical data.

To each their own - OTA 596 is the way to go for me.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
I have gotten over 3000 in quadrant using the apex 2.0 beta. I doubt the stock can beat that

i think i just bricked my phone

i downloaded the RC2 rom, I have the bootstrap recovery and CWM and the unknown sourses app.

i was following your instructions on the dev release on how to install the rom

I downloaded the rom, put in on my sdcard i checked debugging usb

and then i hit the recovery bootstrap recovery button then the normal one ...

when it boots again i get critical error: CC00

DBAD

then another scren shows up with: Bootloader

09.12

Err:A5,70, 39,00,21

and i on the same screen it says: Battery: OK

OK to program

Connect USB

Data Cable

whe i conect the cable its says tranfermode: on

i dont know what to do at this point is there anything i could do to fix this?

I already tried yanking the battery out SDcard and put back in i just go back to the same screen
[Bravo General] bandroidx:
I just replied to your email, you efused!

This is exactly what happened to me when I bricked my gf's first bravo.

Good news is sbf and its fixed. You wont even lose any data.

IDK how this happens, seems it has happened twice now, there must be a specific change made before bootstraping that causes the check.

Either way the code group that is problematic is in the sbf, flash it and your good.

you will need to reroot, rerun nonmarket apps enabler, and re-bootstrap recovery, then reboto recovery and flash rc2 and you will be fine.
[Bravo General] slowcurve:
sorry for the spam... i panic'd..

i have the rsd lite i searched for sbf's and a whole bunch came up mind pointing which one i should use.

Edit: Its fixed thank you bando, you own half of my soul
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstuckmaier:
Could someone make or help me make an updater script to change the lcd density right after a CM nightly flash?

Right now I am changing it by the LCD Density app (and yes I know I can actually open up the ROM zip and change the numbers) but I'm 99% certain this can be done by flashing a zip right after flashing the ROM.

This thread has zips for the Legend but I'm fairly certain some adjustments would have to be made (the density number itself being changed, for one).

I'm looking for density 192. If someone is kind enough to help me learn how to make the scripts (or at least point me in the right direction) that would be awesome!

[youtube]2lXOa22sQIw[/youtube]

Yes, I know there are alternative launchers, but I ask for the standard stock Android interface (and without needing to install anything from other phone).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickyhenry:
No it defaults back and the standard home is not available.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_master:
No,if you want pure stock Android experience,Google Nexus series is what you are looking for.

Touchwiz/Sense all are default android launchers of Samsung & HTC.

No way you can get standard stock Android interface{although launcher pro & adw does a pretty good job}
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
You sure launcher 2 won't run on it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_master:
No what i am saying is that if you have seen Nexus 1 & Nexus S video,both of these have a stock{not skinned} launchers..Although Nexus 1 was HTC & Nexus S was Samsung.

But then launcher pro,adw launcher all will run on SGS 2{or any other android smartphone},simply replace skinned touchwiz/sense UI with launcher pro/go launcher/adw

If you do get a SGS II you'll find that you'll love TW4 :D this is coming fron a guy who used to use launcher pro on sgs.

For God's sake, why don't you people from UK (at least unbranded ones) download the friggin zip, put it to your SD card root, reboot to recovery and apply the update manually? It even works with non rooted phones and stock recoveries.

[Desire HD General] RizlaUK:
Be gental ;)

Ok... So the DHD is my first 'real' smartie phone, I read the forums (never did with any other phone) and I hear loud and clear the word ROOTING.

So, now my nerves are maybe a little stronger... Is it time I rooted my phone?

I run with SPD 3D Shell and love it so I don't have any need for other front ends. Battery is still on the crap side of life but can live wioth it (I think)

So.. Root or not? is there a lot of bebefit?

Ok boys, get the boots on ;)
[Desire HD General] tkolev:
You don't loose anything by rooting so I say go with it. Put a custom recovery and the phone becomes completely yours to do what you want - overclocking, removing bloatware apps, installing custom ROMs (which are supposed to have better battery life), etc. The only downside is loosing the warranty but if you need any service by HTC you just have to restore everything to stock and send the phone.
[Desire HD General] CodeNameUnknown1:
Rooting means you have access to EVERYTHING on your phone.

in Windows to have full access you must be an administrator.

in Linux to have full access you must be 'root'

so, by being root, you can do anything to your system files. It does make you phone quite fun if you know what you're doing, and if you want to try other ROMs (other OS that can be installed on your phone instead of the current android with htc sense) then rooting is the way to go.

But if you just want to stay the way you are, and not do fun, and sometimes crazy stuff ,and you dont want to try other ROMs, then no point in rooting.

Thank you bud for the file :)

just like to ask how do you install the zip my phone is just a standed unbranded phone not locked to any next work.
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Put it in the root of sd card, rename to update.zip, completely shut down the phone (take out the battery to be sure) and turn it on by holding Vol Down + Power. When you go into a white screen with android on skateboards at the bottom, select recovery from the menu (vol up/down to scroll, power to select) and when you come up to a new screen, select apply update.zip from sd card. When it's done, reboot the phone and that's it.

Thanks Eddie1506!

Thanks bud for the help. Would I lose any of my apps at all I'll back thinks op of course
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Wow! I just used the file from Buddhain's link & have updated to 2.3.3! Dead easy & I struggle with lego :(. Thanks very much indeed for the link to that. Couple of quations now though...

Have I lost my warranty by doing this?

If / when the UK / unbranded update gets released, will I get a notification?

(Mine's a UK, unlocked, stock, unbranded UK model with a Tmob simin it).

Can't see any huge changes so far but I only did it a few minutes ago.

Thanks again Buddhain :D
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Nope, you won't loose any apps or data as this is the OTA. However, I do not recommend installing this if you have root. You will loose ENG hboot, S-OFF, root and everything that goes along with it. (There is a way around it too, but that's beyond the scope here). For unrooted devices, the procedure above is fine.

EDIT: Also, you won't loose your warranty as this is the way OTA works (it only happens automatically when you accept the notification). You also won't receive any notifications when OTA gets eventually released because for all intents and purposes, you already have it.
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Excellent, thanks for the information, appreciate it.
[Desire HD General] webba99:
Hi guys, I have just tried this but I got an error message saying "invalid operation" after selecting 'apply update.zip'.

My DHD is unbranded with a T Mobile sim. Its is up to date with FOTA (2.2.1) and not rooted. The only difference I can see between mine and the ones that worked on here is that mine is not sim unlocked. Could that be the issue?

I did get the red exclamation mark screen after selecting 'recovery' at the first screen, but I used the vol up + power to get to the second screen ok.

What's the difference between the 'update.zip' and the 'PD98IMG.zip' ?
[Desire HD General] aidan257:
so basically HTC are doing exactly what they did with the Hero. I'm happy i've rooted then. If it wasn't for the fact they make such good hardware i'd have probably gone elsewhere tbh.
[Desire HD General] dijonemon:
I get the same error message when trying to apply. Mine is sim unlocked.
[Desire HD General] ajp900:
yes i wish someone could spread some light :confused: i get the same thing when trying to update just says invalid operation ive tried everything.
[Desire HD General] webba99:
Mine flashes up some messages about 'PD98IMG...' not found. It displays about three lines of the above and then disappears to be replaced by the normal menu already mentioned. What is PD98IMG? I have found this file online but it is much bigger (246MB) than the update.zip.
[Desire HD General] mnp:
I had this problem by naming it update.zip - it couldn't access 'E:/cache/' something or other. I then downloaded the 246MB ROM, renamed it pd98img.zip (all lowercase) and it worked fine, all updated. But I did lose all my data that wasn't on the SD card. Now running Gingerbread all fine and battery life much better.
[Desire HD General] webba99:
I shall have a go at doing it that way and report back. I dont mind starting again with the onboard software. It could do with a good clean out...
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
Thanks for the help bud

But having a problem when i get to the Recover and press the power button it comes up with a picture of the a phone with a red ! in it and does nothing more than that.

do you have any idears of what could be going on?
[Desire HD General] webba99:
When you get the red exclamation mark, use the vol up + power to get to the second screen... But if you have the same issue as us, you may not get any further.
[Desire HD General] smudgelab:
Hi, I had all those issues but then downloaded some exe file from here:

h**p://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs

Use the one with ACE Gingerbread in the title. D/L it to desktop or whereever, hook your phone to pc via cable & just follow the instructions, took me 10 mins max (& I'm c**p at tech stuff(!)). Best of luck...
[Desire HD General] webba99:
I downloaded the PD98IMG file from here:

"gandroidmix.com/download-htc-desire-hd-gingerbread/"

Renamed the very long filename to just PD98IMG.zip, copied it to root of SD card and booted up with vol down + power.

I agree with the last guy, it took less than 10 minutes. Went perfectly.

It did overwrite everything on my phone, but since I previously allowed google to back everything up, virtually everything including contacts and applications have all magically reappeared back on the device. Great!

Thanks all on here for this!
[Desire HD General] dijonemon:
I bit the bullet and did the update via the RUU. All fine and got my data restored. Seems ok so far, no issues. Was impressed that Market automatically downloaded and installed all my apps as soon as it switched on.

Well tryed again buy pressing the + and came the same red exclamation mark. Bit pissed off whish HTC just let the update start now
[Desire HD General] webba99:
If you still want to upgrade to Gingerbread just follow these instructions:

(Just remember this way is easy but will wipe the phones memory - it's like doing a factory reset.)

1. Download the PD98IMG file from here: "gandroidmix.com/download-htc-desire-hd-gingerbread/"

2. Rename it in windows (right click, rename) to 'PD98IMG.zip'

3. Connect phone to computer via USB.

4. Copy PD98IMG.zip from computer to phones SD card. (into root ie, NOT into any folder.)

5. Disconnect phone from computer. Switch phone off and remove battery.

6. Put battery back in.

7. Press and hold VOL DOWN + the POWER button.

8. Wait - it will do the rest on its own.

Hope this helps. It is working really well on mine I am happy with the upgrade.

Here is a chat i had with HTC Live Chat this morning 11may

Chat Transcript

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to Olga.

Olga: Hi Buddhainuk, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I’m looking in to your query now.

Olga: In regards to the 2.3 update, this was released early last week and the unbranded/unlocked devices are getting the update first, Vodafone have since then have also started sending it out to their customers.

Olga: Currently we are issuing the update to over 30,000 devices a day, please be patient while it reaches you.

Buddhainuk: i have a friend who is on Voda and he got it 3days ago so does that mean that your server can not handle more?

Olga: My apologies but 30,000 devices a day is quite a lot.

Olga: It may take several weeks to get through the amount of devices in operation.

Buddhainuk: so when will the UK begetting the GB2.3

Olga: UK is already getting the 2.3

Buddhainuk: I just feal like we have been let down by

yourself as we have got the phone from you and you have let other networks roll it out before givein it to your customers 1st

Olga: We are giving it to our customers first as stated above, we rolled it out last week (Tuesday), and unlocked devices have been getting it ever since, all i can advise is to wait a little bit longer, i appreciate everyone has already been waiting for the update for a while to be released but there is physically nothing else we can do but to advise to wait a bit longer until the update reaches you.

Buddhainuk: seems up to 7 weeks is a bit of a bummer, Ok that for your help any how have a good day

Olga: I did not state you have to wait 7 weeks Nigel, but it may be a few weeks that you do have to wait, if you wish you may also contact your network provider as they also have a responsibility in issuing the update to their customers.

Olga: Is there anything else I can help you with at this time?

Buddhainuk: no thanks have a good

Olga: No worries, thank you for contacting us and please dont hesitate to come back again, we are open until 9pm this evening.

Olga: Hope you have a good day also.

Buddhainuk: just one thing my network provider does not come in to it as my phone was simfree and unlocked

Buddhainuk: thank you for your time

Olga: But it is them also that provide the upgrade via OTA service, no matter if you have a sim free phone or not.

Buddhainuk: ok thanks alot any how

Olga: No worries, thank you. Take care

Why do we all have to have everything instantly? No biggie waiting till next week, maybe the week after.

If the biggest thing in your life right now is worrying about what software your phone is running, dayum, you must have a pretty cushty (and empty) life
[Desire HD General] iant54:
Not quite sure I understand what Olga was saying - I also have a Desire HD which I bought SIM-free and unlocked, and I put in a T-Mobile SIM. However, T-Mobile will not be aware that I'm using their SIM card in a Desire HD, so why should the network provider be responsible for providing the upgrade?
[Desire HD General] rory1980:
Hi guys,

There is no way that any mobile operator can tell without manually checking which device you are using with one of their SIM cards. Carrier specific OTA updates are the only updates supported by the networks themselves, sounds like HTC trying to shunt the blame elsewhere.

This is why I finally cracked up and rooted, S-OFF'd, SIM unlocked and started installing custom ROM's as they normally get released, patched and perfected long before the first OTA update by HTC. They also normally work better and don't have bloatware and the battery life is significantly better.
