[Desire Android Development] Jereso:
HTC Desire CDMA (BravoC) Thread

I wanted to create this thread to show that there are CDMA Desire users that there are users that want to help ourselves, and we need more ROMs! With the addition of 1.06 HBOOT Desire's being able to be rooted now, there is a large influx of these users new to rooting.

Most of the content was rewritten by me, but I must give thanks to the XDA Forums, Cyanogenmod Forum, Team US Cellular Forums, MIUI forums, and 2fast ROMS! This took a while to put together for me!

Of course, thanks to fllash for the Desire Index thread and for being awesome, but with the influx of CDMA users, it's time to branch off slightly.

This was written by a US Cellular user, but most information is for all CDMA phones. I have owned both a 0.98 HBOOT and a 1.06 HBOOT device.

Tips for CDMA Users:

Red comments are by 2fast4u88

Blue comments are rebuttals by me.

Most things in this forum are for GSM users, the CDMA Desire was added a year ago but never got an official forum on XDA.

Your phone is CDMA if you do not have a SIM card port by your SD card.

CDMA users do not need to worry about radio's as much as GSM users do. Most CDMA desire's only have 1 or 2 different radio's depending on the carrier.

It is recommended to not mix h-boots and radios. Use the radio with the right h-boot. The newer radio's have better battery life. The older radio's have better signal strength

Don't worry people, I haven't seen a ROM that updated your radio without specifying it very well before you download!

CDMA users do not need to use different HBOOT images for ROMs.

Gsm roms do not need h-boots. All the modded h-boots are for is for memory like cmtd does for us.

Backup your APNs!

You do not need to backup your apn list when the rom dev supply's the zips to flash.

Not all ROM devs supply this unfortunately, and it's always useful to have one just in case, especially with easy apps like APNs Backup & Restore!

There is no Gingerbread Sense ROM for CDMA users yet. Official Gingerbread for the Desire will not have Sense built in due to the limited space on the Desire's memory.

Gingerbread update will have sense but with some stuff downloadable last I heard. Even the the uscc desire will not have it along with probably other carriers. Uscc made it public one update per device.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not likely to happen for us CDMA users.

If you do any fixes to your phone like repairing your 3G service (detailed below for USCC members) or getting your MSL Number, you must do so on a Sense ROM with EPST.apk, which most Sense ROMs have. Keep a backup of your original ROM! The official 2.3 update should fix this problem, but no guarantees.

What are you even talking about here in all honesty? There is no issue flashing anything that I am aware to break 3g?

On the Cyanogenmod forums, a lot of people happen to ask about lost 3G service for US Cellular, and many of these people are roaming. I've had this happen to me and found the official fix by the USCC Roaming Tech Support. Guide added to the third post!

If you ever ask for support, specify you're a CDMA user and your carrier.

Use BravoC recoveries, not Bravo!

If you need more space for apps, use either App2SD, Data2SD/EXT, CMTD, or for CM7: S2E from the market.

This a problem a little bit and bugs me everytime I see it. Skuddy is the only one to use data2sd. All the other roms running what is to be called data2sd is a knock of of darktremors apps2sd+ with out dalvik moved. Also every rom has one built in so using a app to do it is going to cause issues.

The market app S2E seems to be a universal Cyanogenmod addon that works on most devices. I personally use and love it.

DO A NANDROID BACKUP

Only needed for having a backup of sense. If you have a ruu it isn't needed. You can of course due backups of a rom if you want but isn't needed everytime. I don't waist my time with backup's anymore.

Yes, but it's good practice for those who are just starting, as they're very likely to miss a step when flashing a ROM, or trying out CMTD for the first time.
