Installation Guide CM10.1 Jelly Bean ROM v6.2 Stock

Fresh, Tight installation of vijendrahs' excellent CM10.1 Jelly Bean ROM v6.2 Stock

WARNING...

This guide will potentially delete all SD contents and will DEFINITELY delete phone contents, contacts, messages, saved games, wi-fi settings, answerphone number, everything.

It also assumes knowledge of flashing ROM's and is meant as a reference for initial configuration.

Most things working including Camera and Video recording

A number of the settings featured are personal preference and can be changed to suit your needs

My basic phone configuration for reference / comparison,

BEFORE YOU START

ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 (I've Always found this to be the most reliable version on the HTC Desire)

Backup your Apps + Data using your favourite backup program if desired.

Make sure EVERYTHING you might need is backed up to a seperate device (PC/Laptop)

Test your SD card with H2testw 1.4 using a USB to SD adapter if you've previously been having problems to rule out corruption

If you need to backup SD data and can't currently do so under your existing install (due to bootloops etc),..

Under ClockworkMod Recovery

Mount USB - Mounts and Storage, mount USB storage

Plug cable into PC/Laptop - If asked to scan and fix or similar, don't (it usually ends badly and we are wiping the whole card anyway)

Copy entire contents of SD card to a folder of your choice.

WIPING AND INITIAL INSTALLATION...

!!WARNING!! this stage will erase EVERYTHING on your entire SD card and can be skipped if you already have a reliable ext partition and don't usually have trouble with a2sd, soft reboots or any other quirky behavior.

Calender Events

Event Calenders - tick all that apply

Re-size the cLock widget on the main screen by long-pressing then dragging the dots.Make it slightly longer and slightly narrower so calender events are displayed correctly.

Transfer necessary essential data back to phone on USB, avoid any directories that already exist on the SD card for now

Restore your App+Data backups with your favourite backup program if you have them, be careful though!..Manually check you are not restoring anything more than the apps you recognise as installed by you.

From the Play market...

camera zoom FX for flicker free photography

videocam illusion for reasonable video recording (Set audio to 44.1 leave everything else default)

MXPlayer for video playback

If you start to run into space issues (primarily with internal storage), you can move some apps manually to the 'normal' SD card

Settings - Apps - Select the app and click 'Move to USB storage'

This will free space on both internal and sd-ext partitions

If you cannot send / recieve MMS messages, delete every APN and re-enter the data manually

(Settings, More..., Mobile networks, Access Point Names, Click, Menu, Delete APN)

Hopefully you should now have a smooth, working, and fully functional Desire! :cool:
