I was able to apply unrevoked without any problem and then got greedy. I installed ROM Manager and attempted to install cyanogen mod. Eventually, I've worked myself into the following. The phone at this point, does not ever successfully boot.

When bootloader opens, it gives me the option to start update. If I say yes, it acts like it applies an update but won't load. If I say No, I can eventually get into ClockworkMod Recovery. From there I have tried clearing the cache and reloading the cyanogen mod. It goes through the update but when I reboot, it goes to the white htc EVO screen and does not progress. I have tried the things that I have been able to find so far (like clearing the cache). If anyone has some suggestions, I'd be grateful.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamspt2:
So I am able to get to a screen of nandroids. I've tried installing all of them (there are four) but each comes back with the same error - "Error while flashing boot image".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamspt2:
Woo hoo!! I'm all fixed. If anyone has a similar issue, I was able to boot into recovery, and then use the command line to push a newer version of cyanogen to the sdcard. That allowed me to flash cyanogen (latest version) which is now working just fine.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
I am ready to dive in with the Unrevoked3 method to root my Desire, I take it I will then be able to load a custom ROM, however I'm a little overwhelmed by the choices. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere or can someone make any suggestions? I'm after stability and reliability although I am interested in what the whole ROM scene has to offer.

I presume that all my paid apps will still work as well?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamboo12:
i would stick to the rom you are using because if you have to ask that question, you haven't done enough research, if there was a single answer to what rom to use, then there wouldn't be so many around

so the final answer is, stick to the stock froyo that you've got already, there's nothing to be gained from other roms considering you didn't specify what it is you were looking for
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
I thought I said I'm after stability and reliability, and also app2sd+ in particular. Does that help?

Yes I am doing research, this question is part of the 'research' process. Thanks for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karloe:
Your way of research really puzzles me :confused: looking at the bold parts in your OP below.

- Yes, you should be able to flash a custom rom, if you can follow the instructions.

- There is no comprehensive list, the number of rom's and the changes are to large to keep it up to date, or do you offer to create one :p

- suggestions will tell you to use rom a, b, s, or z, depending on the users preferences. The only thing you can do is to read the rom description, and start skimming and following the rom's which description you liked.

A thing you left out, and what is normally mentioned in a question like this, do you prefer sense or non-sense?

To finish: :eek: I use LeeDroiD V2.1 and I am happy with it, it's stable / reliable, and it's Sense based.

Now just wait for the OD, DeFrost, Pays, Cyanogen (just some examples) and other rom users to give there opinion,

and then decide :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
^^ pretty much what he said!!

No one can tell you what to use, only give their opinions. Ultimately you'll have to read the threads and just try the ROMs until you find one you're happy with. I've gone back to stock as it does what I need it to
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anotherdroid:
i just love when dudes get all condescending as if they were never overwhelmed when they first started out. first they yell at you and infer that you're an idiot and then 4 posts later, they wind up actually helping.

i guess it's like hazing for nerds.

seriously though, i'm gonna answer all your questions right here and now:

go with CM6. then download another one and try it. then download another one and try it. and then... come back here and tell us what your opinion is. you know, pay it forward and don't become one of those condescending dorks after you have figured it all out.

that is all. i'm going bowling with your father...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
Well, when you don't get out much and you don't have many friends.. We should be more sympathetic to 'special needs' people.

Anyway, I'm on AuraxTsense now (check my sig for full details). I like the concept of undervolting for extended battery life, however before I dive in to ROMs, what can cause damage? I will avoid overclocking ROMs for that reason, anything else to watch out for?

What's the advantage of Cyanogen over others? I also read that Modaco ROMs are designed with stability in mind.

Is there any way to back up settings to restore when switching ROMs? Or should I just back each one up with all my settings and use that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gutsbn:
In the last week or so I've tried at least

- Cyanogen

- PirateRUM

- Some PAYS Sense one

- OpenDesire

- ShadowSense

+ another 1 or 2 I forget now

with Alex-V's one still to try.

The main thing I'd say is:

- Do you want Sense?

- Do you want GApps and other fluff preinstalled?

Try them and see...

Personally

- I like OD but it needs the Sense music player

- CM has no market, and I have not worked out how cutdown it's GApps package yet to remove fluff

I want to Root my Evo,but i have no idea if i will be able to get my gingerbread or even honeycomb OTA update.

i really dont know how to do manually updates,i dont know if its even hard to do.

in Mind is the UnrEVOked team.

please give me your opinions to help me make the right decisions.

and threads or anything useful for me to have.
[General Questions and Answers] chrstdvd:
The safe bet is to back up your stock system. Search the forum for your device and find out how to do a nandroid back up. You do that, then when the OTA is avail, restore your phone with nandroid restore, then get the OTA and then back it up before you root again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3p4145:
Hello,

I have HTC Touch pro that i got from my sister in Australia (3). The phone has:

os 5.2.21916

I am using this in Canada on Fido.

Now the question I have is:

- Is there any official upgrade i can do to this phone? WM 6, 6.1, 6.5??

- As you see I am using a Australian phone in Canada.. I dont really need data. I do use WiFi.. What would be a good ROM for the following criteria:

- FAST

- Bug Free

- Do not care as much for a lot of apps except MS office

- Will be installing Garmin XT

I am a total noob to this whole ROM thingi.. Please help...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
no 6.5 official roms exist, official 6.1 and below exist. you can install garmin on any version. NATF (not a treo fan) used to make v. good roms, some versions include stripped down roms for max performance.

some people complain that the sense interface slows down that phone, so check and if you don't like it, you can disable it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AthenaLod:
double post, plz delete.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3p4145:
Thanks for the reply..

So I guess the next question is how do I get the official 6.1 ROM (not a cooked one) for this phone.

I checked the HTC site but they don't have anything that I can find....I tried the HTC australia site and the last release is:2008-12-04

From the HTC www site I see there is: 2009-08-30

htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=140&act=sd&cat=2

Can someone confirm that i can put this on my phone which has OS5.1 currently?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] 3p4145:
Sorry for spammin.. but I guess my confusion is from the fact that..

After I installed the ENERGY 6.5 ROM, the Settings>about tells me that OS is 6.5

but when i do settings>Phone info>SW info: It says Os version is: 5.2.21916

So I guess the question is how do I updated my phone's base OS to 6.1
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slack04:
You should do a little more research before posting

I'm not trying to be rude, but you're going to run people down really quick with this line of questioning. Most of the answers to your questions could be answered by just reading more threads, maybe even a little wikipedia. I'll give you one hint: your phone does not have (nor did it ever have) Windows Mobile 5, and there is no such thing as WinMo 5.1 or 5.2. Unless your sister installed a new ROM, you've got Windows Mobile 6.1.

Now, go back and do some more research and decide for yourself: what ROM do you want to install? Is there a reason you don't want a cooked ROM? (is it because you believe that the "official" ROMs somehow are better?)

Good luck!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jianC:
You can test what rom you like by flashing different ones rather than ask "what rom is the best?" I have no idea what your tastes are. It doesn't hurt to flash different roms as long as you back up your data ;)

In my opinion, the custom roms blow away official roms in terms of performance and cosmetics. (All my opinion, you choose for yourself)
[Captivate General] justflorin:
So since i got my second Cap, i noticed that the bottom of my screen felt rough. I looked and looked, thought i had something wrong with my finger...to no avail. I cleaned the screen with alcohol wipes, and there it was...my screen was etched!

It CANNOT be seen easily by the naked eye, but if you huff warm air at it, you can see all the hundreds of tiny scratches.

My only regret is i didnt order my Zagg as soon as I got my phone and now I KNOW there is a defect, but as soon as the invisishield is on i wont feel that rough spot.

Anyone else see the etches? Or did you get a screen protector right away?
[Captivate General] tysj:
I see/feel nothing. I've had mine skinless for about 3 weeks now after having a skin on a week after release.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
So your second Captivate came from the factory with these tiny scratches on the screen? Take it back. Or maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.

Invisible shield sucks btw. I think I would rather have a scratched screen.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
For those who are going with that "Android Phone 7" look, originaly found here for the hero, here is a icon pack I put together.

Included icons:

Bank

Browser

Calendar (also 1 for every month)

Camera

Contacts

Email

Facebook

Gallery

Games

Market

Music

Navigation

Phone

Google Talk

Text

Voicemail

Wireless

Yellowbook (YB)

Youtube

Thanx goes out to andyriot for bringing this to light for the hero community, as well as thanx to those that originally brought this design to the android world.

When applying these, i recommend going with Desktop Visualizer(4x1) for the horizontal icons and Desktop Visualizer(Large) for the vertical ones. For some reason, when using the Desktop Visualizer(Large) for the horizontals, it would cause my phone to random boot.

Screenies below (there is 1 icon on the screen shot thats not included in this pack. The icon is for football, whether for nfl app or fantasy app. The picture is of a female wearing a NY Giants Eli Manning jersey. If your a Giants fan and want this icon, I will be more then happy to send it to you)

So I downloaded the zip file but where do I extract it. Desktop visualizer can't find the icons.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
if you downloaded them to a computer just extract and copy folder to ur sd card... if u downloaded straight to ur phone extract using a file explorer like Linda file manager or astro
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] coreymartin85:
I downloaded straight to phone and used astro to extract right into my download file and desktop visualizer can't find the icons. Do I need to extract to a specific place?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bk718:
if your using CM6 then you probably need to either open astro and verify that the folder labeled "ICON" is in your downloads folder, or click on Gallery and let everything load... u might even need to reboot your phone... i noticed sometimes when u download an image and use desktop visualizer right after, it doesn't show all the time...

Can you tell me how you did it ?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
If you stay on the stock ROM you should still be able to get ota's but you might loose your root. The cooked ROMs will be updated usually before the official updates are even rolled out, and most likely tweaked and improved. I wouldn't even worry about sprints updates. As far as choosing a ROM, just read through the development forum and read what the ROM offers and the comments through the thread of users reporting bugs (if any) and opinions of performance. Baked snack, CM, and fresh seem to be the most popular and stable. Start with one of those. I used calkulin and frost, both work well too if you like vanilla Android, fresh was the only sense ROM I used and it was very nice. Its all about what look you want and customization. Thats the beauty of Android.

There are plenty of tutorials on the process, read the useful threads and links thread. Thats a good place to start. When ROMs get updated just flash over the previous unless the dev says a wipe is needed, which is rare.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
I mean I love my sense. I can't go on without the beautiful widgets it comes with.

Plus the upgrade they're doing for sense is coming out soon.

But I need to know if a custom recovery is the same as a custom Rom.

I am thinking of doing Unrevoked because its the only one I know that does 2.2 root. Please give me links!

Thanks for the massive help tho.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rydah:
Custom recovery will either be "R.A." or "ClockworkMod." They are a little different from each other. People usually use R.A. They say that clockworkmod doesn't delete cache right, but I personally use clockwork. What a recovery is, is a menu outside the phones system that allows you to install flashable zips. It also allows you to wipe anything, format anything and create & restore nandroid back ups.

There are tons of Roms. Roms are the system of your phone. Usually flashed from the SD card.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
If you do unrevoked forever, you won't lose root when you accept an OTA.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
The one thing i have seen is that if you root and use unrevoked forever then you can't accept OTA's either, i have seen this with alot of people including myself, not sure why, but you can download the OTA, but it will not upack, literally, as you start it just freeze's up within the first mintues, and no matter how many times you try, it won't take.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Hmm... I haven't heard of that but don't doubt it.

The thing is, the devs here usually get their hands on OTAs before they are rolled out, then they make them better and package them into their ROMs. I see no reason to even care about receiving OTAs at all, tbqh
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Well i was reading about it and from what I gathered up.

It tells me that if you have a custom Rom you aren't able to accept OTAs,I don't wanna manually update my phone. I don't even know how.

But I need to know of a custom recovery with disable me from getting OTAs,help?

If I should use any custom recovery or any team who should I get my root from? I have a unrooted 2.2 sense.

I need a guide and video tutorial,ha.

I'm on my girls MAC,so no windows stuff please.
