HTC Sense was nice for me, but now I cant even use it for some reasons... Now I'm running ICS alpha as my daily ROM, and it's very good.

Cyanogenmod 7. The best ROM ! Really...
[Desire General] str355:
Oxygen or CyanogenMod are the only ones i use.
[Desire General] BurnCK:
Only really tried GingerVillain and Oxygen. Prefer Oxygen though. I tend to stay away from ROMs that have Sense as I'm not really a fan.
[Desire General] ReshamG:
If u want sense then Runnymede AIO and another without sense but with great community support is MIUI by XJ.

Now i m Runnymede coz i was bored with MIUI outlook. They are both great roms. I will stick to these until ICS stable rom are there.
[Desire General] KIMI99:
runnyMede Desire 5 is the best
[Desire General] zolistir:
I've tried several ROMs. Sense, asop and miui. But I always come back to cyanongen. I found that it is the best for my needs.
[Desire General] AnasNazeer:
cyanogen 7.1 all the way
[Desire General] Dev222:
Runnymede AIO 2.4 is the best for me (perfect HTC Sense 3.5 ROM, very smoth)

[Desire General] lazyeejay:
I'm on the MildWild 1.6 Oxygen Rom with ICS themed and I have to say it is awesome. No probs with this Rom at all, decent battery life, loads of space (with a2sd) and ICS looks:) A very very reliable rom.

Sent from my HTC Desire hiding under your bed:)
[Desire General] Mahlzahn:
I've tested the Oxygen ROM today (so not the Mildwild version) and installed also Oxygen Hboot...Awesome ROM, amazing speed and smoothness although benchmarks are pretty low (but who gives a f*** anyway): best ROM i tried so far, but i couldnt flash ayn UOT cooks. I guess it was because of the small system partition.... and I ended up in bootloop. Do you use CM7r2 with MildWild? Maybe I'll give it another shot.
[Desire General] yrp888:
I think that was the OP's intention, what is the best for your needs.

I'm totally new to rooting, took the plunge a few weeks back and am thrilled with the choices available over stock. I bought two used Desires on eBay so as not to screw up my working phone if I failed to read the rooting/S-OFF/HBOOT instructions properly, so I'm lucky to be able to simultaneously have properly working phones and test alterative ROMs.

So far I've tried

Stock HBOOT

SuperNova (laggy, but that could be my inexperience in installing)

SGBS (great)

InsertCoin (nice but slightly laggy)

CM7 (fast but I prefer Sense)

Oxygen (ditto)

Cm7r2 HBOOT

Revolution 1.7, 2.0 DATA++ (love it)

Aurora 4.1 DATA++ (great)

Some important criteria for me (and the wife, she has a Desire too)

Must be smooth and fast to use

Must sync quickly to my Exchange server

Must properly attach to our cars' integrated BT (BMWs)

Must allow the wife to install all her social networking apps without running out of space.

To date, RevolutioN 2.0 has worked well for us. She was using IC for a while but complained it was a tad slow. Not bad, but probably just a little frustrating.

All the stock HBOOT ROMs I tried were early days in my rooting adventure, possibly I could try them again now that I realise I have to wipe wipe wipe. However it would appear that running Cm7r2 HBOOT and DATA++ suits our needs well, so any future ROM installs will undoubtedly be using this partitioning arrangement.

You must mean u8800. Are you running custom roms, do you have root, have you restored backup when changing rom? These can be reasons. If you are running custom rom, i'd reccomend you to take backups from apps, and the reflash the rom with all wipes.

Please help.

I've flashed the Leedroid 3.0.8.2 ROM with A2SD onto my HTC Desire. It works fine, but on two occasions it has crashed overnight.

I woke late up because the phone's alarm failed to go off. The phone's screen was black and I had to take out my battery to re-start.

Does Anyone else have this problem? What did you do to solve it? It's created big headaches, being late, etc.
[General Questions and Answers] HTCOrangeCat:

It happened again this morning. I am now relying on another alarm to wake up.

How do i root my droid incredible s?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cniDXDinc:
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU FOLLOWING THIS PROCESS.

First of all, you must check if your smart-phone is on S-ON or S-OFF version. 1 – Open menu and then to Settings, you will see ‘Applications’ Go to it and turn off Fast Boot. 2 – You must turn off your smart-phone. 3 -Now you’re going to boot your smart-phone into Hboot. You can easily do that by holding the volume down button while turning the device back on. 4 – Most likely, you will see a white screen and you will have to look on the first line to see which version your smart-phone is depending upon. Your phone should be on S-OFF version if you want to root your phone and flash custom ROM's.

To get S-Off you need to use an XTC Clip or wait for AlphaRevX

Please, you must follow these instructions to the letter.

Now that your Smart-phone is of S-OFF version and you’re all set to root your phone.

- Download Gingerbreak APK - Make sure USB debugging is enabled - Make sure you have an SD card (formatted and) inserted - Get the APK on the phone somehow, and install it - Open the APK, press the root button - Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, the device will reboot (note that the reboot itself can take like 10 minutes due to cache wipe) - Make sure the Superuser app is install and working - Optional: Install BusyBox from Market (I personally prefer the stericsson installer) - Optional: Uninstall GingerBreak, you don't need it on your phone anymore

Get CWM (Clock Work Mod) on the device. - download ROM Manager from the market. - Open the app and Flash/install Clock Work Mod Recovery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
May I tag along?

I have decided to root my Dinc. Currently on 2.2

I am getting this constant notice to install the System Update 4.08.605.2.

The message states that it is ready to install.

Can I choose "install later" and then proceed and root with unrevoked ?

Or will the update install first, when my phone reboots again?

Is this a valid concern ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
If you want to root your phone do not accept the update. Root it first, go here and follow the instruction www.unrevoked.com after that you can flash a custom Gingerbread ROM. Do some research before flashing anything, patience for this pays off believe me!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
I've done considerable research. Enough to learn that I do not want this update before rooting my phone.

My concern is that the update has been downloaded onto my phone and awaiting a reboot to install. Is that possible ?

When I go to: menu-settings-about phone-system updates, I see this:

Android Software Update

(4.08.605.02)

Downloaded and Verified 87.7 MB

Bla-Bla-Bla......

Restart & Install

Can I proceed with root anyway ?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
Help, I have a problem...

I ran the Unrevoked3 and got the "your done" message. My phone was fully booted.

Everything appeared to be normal.

I installed Titanium, that tells me I have root access.

However, I cant get into clockworkmod.

I can't do anything with rom manager.

Then I remembered that I did not format my sd card to fat32.

Here is where I messed up.

I copied the contents of the sdcard to my desktop, formatted to fat32, then copied contents from desktop file back to sdcard.

Then I ran the unrevoked3 again. It did not finish, instead it ended with the "firmware too new" message. The phone was still in HBOOT.

Next, somehow I inadvertantly selected "clear storage" and pressed the power button.

When I was booted up again, all of my downloaded apps were gone, as well as my contacts and settings.

I figured at this point I might as well do a factory reset too and just start over from the beginning.

After the reset, I was surprised to see I still had my email settings.

I went into HBOOT, still S-off.

Rebooted and ran Unrevoked3 again and got the same results as above.

All seems to be ok, except I'm not rooted and I can't access the Wifi setup.

What should I do now ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
From what I gather, you are still s-off.

What troubles were you having in accessing CWM? What issues arose in rom manager? Did you also have superuser installed (requirement to use rooted apps)? Please elaborate.

SINCE the factory reset, have you re-downloaded Rom Manager and do you have access to the Android Market? You may want to re-download rom manager so you can perform a backup of your stock rom (i.e. prior to flashing roms) once you set up your phone how you want due to your accidental factory reset.

I say "may" because the same backup process can be performed via recovery. Recovery can be downloaded from: "http://pvillecomp.com?page_id=128"

Once downloaded, you must install the file via hboot, so reboot and accept the update and DO NOT let your phone off.

To address your present situation,

Were your contacts stored in gmail OR Verizon backup assistant? If so, those are easily retrieved. You may want them in gmail now on to avoid this from occurring in the future.

What issues are you having with accessing wifi set up? Are you able to access it at all via Settings/Wireless Networks?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
Thanks in advance for your help.

I am still s-off

When I first initiated the unrevoked process, my phone indicated an “unable to read file” error when the process was “flashing clockworkmod”

Rom manager failed to flash and “forced close”

Wi Fi displays “error”, can't access via settings.

I was working on my PC. Then since my last post, I tried this on my laptop last night.

This time, the unrevoked batch process indicated “Success !” and then “Done”

My phone did not display any error messages and finished in a black screen with orange scrolling text and then the phone rebooted.

Wi-Fi still displays “error” when I tap it.

I downloaded Rom manager and initiated Flash ClockworkMod recovery, and it completed without error. Current recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 ( I did not Erase Recovery first )

I have Superuser Permission app in the drawer, but not Superuser. Neither shows up in Manage applications.

I also download Titanium backup. It shows Root access: OK (BusyBox 1.18.4-Titanium from app)

I don't know if that indicates that I am rooted or not.

Congrats your rooted! Not sure what the issue is with your wifi tho. Try a custom Rom/Kernel and see if that fixes the issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
We are talking about the same Superuser, which is great cuz your rooted apps work. The wifi issue should not be happening although that occurred with the accidental clear storage. If you plan on flashing a rom then this will not be present as you will format data, cache, etc and essentially wipe your phone to the point of a clean state. You are definitely rooted as you have CWM 5.0 as your recovery.

Have you retrieved your contacts? Prior to flashing ANYTHING that involves wiping in recovery or rom manager, ensure you have them saved in gmail OR Verizon backup.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
I do plan to explore other roms. Are you saying then that a new rom should fix the wifi ?

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Still S-off

Superuser is running and other apps ask for SU permission

I did re download Rom manager and flash CWM with success. I understand I need to backup my current rom, but I don't know what you mean by "recovery". I am not very comfortable knowing how to proceed. I appreciate your help.

Contacts are in gmail and re synced to my phone

When I tap on Wi-Fi, it immediately displays "error". In settings, "Error" is shown under Wi-Fi. Add locations is grayed out
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
Yes, I am saying that a custom Rom/Kernel might fix your WiFi issue.

As for backing up thru recovery it mean booting into CWM, and making a backup. I do this instead of backing up thru Rom Manager because I have had some issues with Rom Manager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:

Clear as mud right now, but I expect it will clear up as I learn more.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackbtha1:
No problem, if you need any help or step by step of something just PM me and i'll help as much as I can. Do your research and don't become impatient and go flash happy, bad things tend to happen when people do that!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Good to hear about your contacts. Oops sorry about the terminology confusion! Just to add, ClockWorkMod Recovery is referred to as "CWM" or "recovery." The term "recovery" is a general term as well because there are different versions of a "recovery image." The Droid Incredible has three forms of a recovery image:

Rooted users have:

1) CWM

2) Amon Ra

Non-rooted users have:

3) stock recovery image

As for wifi, this is an issue with your current (stock) rom due to the accidental button press. The error present when you go to Settings/Wireless Networks will not be present once you install (aka flash) a new rom. Generally, your issues with the last rom you flashed will not be on the new rom you intend to flash. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue prior to performing your backup. Having a perfectly fine backup is helpful in the event you flash a rom and need to revert back to a stable and reliable phone set up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
I got trouble again....

I spent the better part of today downloading and installing the apps I lost and also getting familiar with Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Superuser etc.

In fact, I purchased and installed Titanium Pro. I froze a couple of apps and had full use of the app available to me.

About an hour ago I updated and installed the "My Verizon" app.

Now I don't have root access.

I can't get into Titanium, failed to acquire root privileges.

Did I loose root access by updating that stupid Verizon app ?

How do I get it back ?

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

I tried to update Superuser and it failed to gain root access.

Also no apps in list.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Try clearing data and cache for Superuser then see how your rooted apps react. Next, try rebooting your phone and seeing how it responds then. Can you uninstall updates for "My Verizon" in Settings/Applications?

May I suggest reading the reviews prior to updating apps in the future? From the looks of it, the latest update has a straight few days worth of one star ratings.

edit: I just installed My Verizon and haven't lost root access for Titanium Backup Pro, SuperUser, or SetCPU. I even rebooted my phone and I have no issues.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
Tried as you suggested, to no avail.

By the way, I changed out my SD card yesterday am, and still had root.

I can't think of anything else coincidental that might have affected this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvl76:
Fixed it !!!

Fortunately I backed up on Sunday morning.

So i went into recovery and used CWM to recover from that backup and got root access back.

I've downloaded CyanogenMod 7.1 and gapps, flashed it. Now I'm rooted and up and running and not going back.

Thanks everyone.

This may seem lame and I feel kind of dumb posting it but I cannot find a simple widget that just shuts off my g-tab. Every time I press the power switch I think about how light weight it feels and how important it is to mod the tablet. Using it everyday to start and stop the device seems like extra wear and tear for nothing. With all the other buttons virtualized, it would seem that there ought to be a simple "power off" button. My searches and subsequent downloads have turned up buttons that lock the screen, turn off wifi, show you the battery and probably display dancing hampsters but a simple "press this widget and the device powers off" has eluded me. Does anyone have one?

Ok, i would like to root my vibrant. I previously updated to froyo and am aware of the reasons you should flash back to 2.1 to root. But, my usb port does not work, and all the methods I have researched to root my phone with out being hooked to a pc still need the usb in order to flash back to 2.1.

Is there a rooting method i've missed? One that can be done with the usb and with froyo?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Your USB port doesn't work or your computer doesn't recognize your phone? Because that would be two different things altogether. If your computer doesn't recognize your phone, then just install the drivers (they can be found in the AIO toolbox in the Dev section stickied at the top). Load that on your computer, load .net on there two, open it up, install drivers and then plug your phone in after they are loaded. Will take a few minutes to pull in but if you are Windows 7 you should see an icon in lower left about it.

Also, I cannot understand why people keep using Oneclick or Superoneclick to root their phones. The past week has been filled with problems stemming from them both. All you have to do is go to the Noob Guide (stickied in this very section) and follow the section on Rooting. I rooted, downloaded a ROM/Kernel and flashed it all on my phone without ever plugging it into a PC.

If you are just wanting to Root your phone that can be done easily, but you seem to have a much bigger problem b/c the USB is a really important function for transfering files like musi, vids,...

If you jsut want to root your phone, go to the Noob guide stickied at the top of this forum and download the update.zip (you can do this over 3g or wifi) put it on you sd card, reboot into recovery, blah, blah ,blah instructions are there.

See this part of that thread near the top::::::::

GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?

HERE ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW....

BUT FIRST... WHAT UPDATE.ZIP FILE DO YOU NEED?

There are two options here. Choose before you start.

A – an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs. There have been issues with CWR not flashing properly recently (June 2011), hence Option B.

B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.

So, A or B?

1.

A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.

B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.

Also, download the ROM you plan to flash (assuming you are not sticking on JFD – why would you).
