[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
Okay Guys... Welcome to Wildfire S forums... Please read the brief explanation about how things runs around here and also some most common questions which can be found spamming the forums here.

We don't have enough mods here and it's becoming a real mess here.

Let me try to explain what goes where in the simplest way possible.

Now Comes the award winning question, "Hi! I wanna root my device. Can you tell me how?"

Dude for the love of God take a look at Index. You can find many threads explaining in the simplest manner how to do the job.

Here's a quick answer for some random questions!

1. How to expand internal memory?

~ You can use link2sd or data2sd or int2ext+ or whatever you find and is compatible with your ROM. Refer to the ROM's thread on this.

2. Stuck at HTC logo.

- Wipe data, wipe davlik cache, wipe boot, wipe system, wipe battery stats. Try again. Allow it some minutes, Maybe it's just taking some time.

3. Which is the best ROM. (keeping aside the known bugs)

- Let me be brief and explain what's pro and cons of these specific roms.

--> Sense/GB ROM: Laggy, Awesome UI, Good camera and video playback, less battery life.

--> CM/GB ROM: fast, crap ui (unless you theme it pretty good), lot of customizations, good battery life.

--> CM/ICS ROM: fast, clean, fair customizations, Supports HQ playback now. can be used as daily ROM, looks good, great battery life, almost perfect except a aggy camera.

--> MIUI/ICS ROM: fast, pre installed apps, thousands of themes, same ics bugs, great customizations, great battery life.

--> CM/JB ROM: WIP means still not as stable and has many bugs. Can be fast, can be slow. Depends on builds, average battery life.

4. How can I customize my ROM?

- UOT kitchen, many random customizations on XDA.

5. Battery life is poor! What to do?

- Turn off autosync.

- Auto brightness.

- Disable animations, vibration feedback, wifi, mobile data when not in use.

- Check background apps which might keep cpu awake.

- use smartass v2 governer.

6. I found a bug. How to get into notice and solve it?

- Check if it's not already reported.

- Put it in the bugtracker of the dev.

- Submit a clean logcat to dev.

7. What is the correct way to install a ROM? In detail please.

- Backup stuff with Titanium backup or whatever you prefer.

- Take a nandroid just in case.

- Wipe data, 2 times just to be sure.

- Wipe davlik cache

- Wipe system

- Wipe boot

- Wipe battery stats

- Install File, select ROM

- Install Gapps. (If required, Sense and MIUI ROMS are bundled with Gapps by default so you need not flash it. Also ROBOTO Mod doesnt require Gapps.)

- Reboot

(For more specific procedure refer to the ROM you are installing)

8. What is nandroid?

- Nandroid is a special backup which is prepared by your phone's custom recovery. It just backs up all your system data, including your ROM and apps abd even apps installed in memory card and it can restore to as it was when the backup was taken... Just to be safe. Take one before flashing any rom.

9. I can't find play store!

-Flash GAPPS.

10. I can't download anything from PlayStore and It sometimes even give me errors.

- Remove the Google Account from Settings and then add again. That'd do it.

11. I have more questions?

- Again... Post it in the appropriate section.

Thanks for reading this. I hope you are somewhat clear of things.

These were all my views/whatsoever written here. I was pissed by so many idiotic posts.

Thanks.

P.S. Share this post and also suggest any new info which can be added.
