[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BendingBetty:
Being brand new to the desire, I've flashed every Rom available in the last 2 weeks.

Leedroid is a very good sense Rom. I prefer having a Rom with sense right now because this is my first HTC.

Right now I'm running the Aurax sense Rom, solely because it has its own setCPU built in.

The hd roms didn't impress me that much, not yet at least, with a little more time they will be awesome though.

The MIUI roms are also amazingly pretty, if you don't mind the iPhone feel. My only problem with it though, and I've been told this hardly happens, my battery life was pathetic.

At the end of the day though, apart from the hardware, it is android and all the available apps that make our phone so great.

All the custom roms do add a lot of speed to the phone though, you have to do a quadrant after you flash so that you can see how awesome the Rom makes your phone run. They also add additional functionality compared to the stock Rom.

Honestly, I can't see why anyone would keep any Android device stock when there are such amazing roms around. At the end of the day its all down to your own preferences and what functions you like. You'll love any Rom you flash.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehrushi:
Thanks for such amazing replies. Meanwhile, I've also been through many ROMs and their descriptions. The terminologies are kinda new for me, but I can understand many things now....

The only thing I care about right now is App2SD because I found FroYo's move to SD doesn't help much. Also second thing is that I'm not having MY desire yet, its my friend's device m gonna try out everything on! :P So I'd be taking some extra care! :D

One big relief is that rooting is reversible. That'd be cool.

What are the odds of bricking your phone while flashing or applying mods?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BendingBetty:
It is honestly impossible to brick a desire. I bricked my MOTO backflip, there was no coming back from that. With the desire I flashed something that didn't work, but pressing volume down and power gets you right into the hbooot menu, from there just mount as usb and copy over a new Rom to flash.

The one thing you need to remember, when flashing new roms the first boot takes a while, never pull the battery thinking there's nothing happening, that will destroy your phone and there's no coming back from that.

Before every Rom you flash make sure to do a factory reset in the recovery menu, that ensures that the new Rom will work to its full capability and minimizes the chances of experiencing problems.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
You can brick your device flashing Radios, but you can always send it back to HTC, pay them an extortionate amount and they will revive it for you. But overall, the chances are slim to none in my experience.

Just make sure, after rooting, you make a Nandroid backup of the OS. Then you can do whatever you like to the phone and it will be reversable.

I keep a Nandroid of my DeFrost ROM, and one of my PaysROM, and I have one of my MoDaCo R8, you can switch between them just using Recovery, as the mood takes you, absolutely everything will be exactly as it was everytime you load the backup back onto the phone, I just wipe the cache, Dalvik Cache, factory reset the ROM then reinstall whichever ROM I want to use (DeFrost, PaysROM etc etc) from the SD card and then backup from the Nandroid.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BendingBetty:
Depending on the age of your desire, you shouldn't need to flash a radio though. I've never needed to flash a radio, but that's because my desire came with the latest radio, thankfully it still has the amoled screen.

If you do need to replace the radio and somehow brick it, if its still under warranty HTC will replace it for you because there is no way that they can prove you bricked the device.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehrushi:
Wow that means you install a ROM, make settings you want, put in your data (phonebook etc) and then take a full backup. Switching between them is as easy as restoring a backup!

Is that right?

Initially, I'd be trying out ROMs, and would stick to the one which suits me best. I just can't wait before my desire arrives this monthend!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
It saves everything, app data, messages, settings, the lot. Although when switching ROMs I still factory reset, wipe the caches and reinstall the ROM I want to use before loading the backup of that specific ROM. I am not sure things will go so smoothly if you just reload the backups without factory resetting and reinstalling the ROM first, but it won't hurt to try. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehrushi:
Exactly! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] BazzerBazzer:
I have a touch HD for the past 2 years :)and still have at present.

Anyway Orange offered Mozart as a new 18M contract as it was up for renewal.

First impressions are:-

BAD. :mad:

1) No standard Mini USB connection.(I though all phones were standardizing)

2) Why have said connection in side off phone. (This means no neat cradle on desktop)

3) No Mapping software. Also my Memory Map will not work.

4) No easy way to SD card.

5) Contacts transferred but lost pictures?

GOOD :o

1) Screen and colours are excellent. Better than Touch HD.

2) Software is brilliant so fast and slick. I really like it. (Wish my PC had this front end).

3) Zune works OK.

Nice to have:- :rolleyes:

1) Memory Map.

2) Windows 6.5 apps could be recompiled to run on Windows 7 phones.

3) Clock was bigger on front screen say a block with a clock.

4) Enlarge text option.

Will I keep it? :confused:

Still thinking of trading both in for a HD2. But if software I need was coming I would stick with it.

PS Anyone know how to get video recorder just keep getting camera.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
Standard is Micro-USB which your phone clearly has.

eh?!

There is no exchangeable SD card, so what did you expect?

Maybe you should have asked how to transfer contacts correctly.

In the camera-application press on the on-screen-button on the right to switch to video.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Krissrock:
i assume he means the USB connection is either on the top or bottom of the phone as opposed to the side. therefore, a phone cradle for the phone is unlikely of being produced since it can't be slid into the cradle sideways............is my guess.

Don't see how this is a phone negative...someone will make a cradle for it eventually
[Windows Phone 7 General] skycamefalling:
Ah...okay...the Xperia X1 also had the USB port on the right but there have been cradles eventually. There is an extra cable to plug into the USB port after sliding the phone into the cradle. In my opinion this is a benefit because I do not want to charge the phone everytime I place it into the cradle and with this extra cable I can decide if the phone should be charged or not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
If it's anything like the HD7 he means that it isn't in the centre of the phone which means generic cradles can't be used.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
Yes; annoyingly, even though Mini-USB emerged as a standard over the last few years, and even though the reasoning behind the formal standardisation was to reduce the number of chargers that had to be produced and which ended up in landfill, the companies involved decided to use variant of the standard Micro-USB instead; dismissing the opportunity to gain a head start in their quest by utilising the enormous number of phone already out in the world towards their goals.

And that was all one sentence.

However, the decision was not voluntary. It was requested by.. I forget who. Some governments I think. So, why would they want to use an existing standard when they can sell more accessories by using a different one? Apple are in on the deal too, so the next iPhone should have a Micro-USB connector.

In their defence, Micro-USB is probably a better choice than Mini-USB as devices are sure to get thinner and the Micro-USB socket has a narrower profile.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
This is a rooted version of OTA MyTouch froyo 2.2.1 android. Also i imported a flash player and it is semi-working with skyfire browser(download at market).It is deodexed. Zipalinged for optimized ram usage.

OC instructions:

- folks who have 32A version and latest bcrook kernel they can use setcpu(search forum) or overclock widget to set their OC max at 614Mhz

- folks who have 32B version can do the same thing with both apps but they have max 576Mhz, or they can flash ezterry's kernel for ebi0 that has max 614Mhz(if it works ofc)

Do this at your own riks!!!! As form me im satisfied with normal clock of my cpu!!!!!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stlouie65:
Thanks, I'll give that a try
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yohshua:
define semi working with skyfire because skyfire can all ready play flash videos on its own
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mental_Atom:
Can confirm don't even get as far as boot animation on 32b
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Not only videos are made in flash on some sites. So it doesnt load standard videos in flash but in his same old way. but other flash parts are loading normaly
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
What SPL do you have??? Power down phone and then volume down key + power to see it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] yigal778:

So this one is not for the Mytouch 3g huh
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
People are saying its not booting it self. But if you have eng spl you could try installing it adn give me feedback so i can rework 32b version and post it
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
Sorry man Idk what engineering spl is sorry just a noob who loves android....I haven't messed with the radio or spl or hboot before lol just setcpu kernels lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stlouie65:
Mine are in my signature
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rquattro:
I'm loving it on my 32A!

Linpack gives 2.3 but it still seems smoother then CM6.1, and multitouch works really well! I'm sticking with this one for now.

*EDIT*

And the battery life is amazing :)

*EDIT 2*

Oh, I'm using ezterry's Kernel.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
it cant be true double checked links now and there is no busybox in the zip file maybe you missmatched it?Also installed it and no error
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
hmmmmmmmmmm i should have busybox installed already though right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
No, well there is a problem with update scripts and kitchen. recoverys are not installing busybox idk why. So i removed busybox from new ROM so you wont get that same old error. When you install rom then you can install from market Busybox installer and then install busybox if you need it ofc.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
anyone has problems getting their messages?

just asking because in the amazing something guys rom sorry can't remember the name i wouldnt get my messages sometimes

so far it looks good nice work man!

so for the speed boost i can just flash the oc614 2.6.43.5?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Do a nandroid backup first. You should be fine if it boots with oc kernel, i really dont know for 32B phones i have 32A and oc does work as i wrote in the first post do it on your own risk
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
Cool it booted up without oc thanks man cool rom smooth.....very nice
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Thx man I hope you dont have that same message problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
I dont think so but it just rebooted on me but ehhhh its still awesome
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
You know i didnt make that kernel so i dont know how it works. As i said proced at your own risk, which kernel did you flash?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
Oh I see but I didn't use the kernel man....its cool though running awesomely question though how does this flash player work?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
OK my friend never had reboots he has an older version than this :confused:.

As you know browser have flash player plugins (adobe flash player) so they can play videos from youtube etc. Also some sites are made in flash. So without flash player it cant load some parts of some sites (example videos, some adds and stuff). I imported flash so browser can load that content. Skyfire browser load everything execept videos, but it has own video player but uses more internet connection then normal flash player.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] butch87402:
Hmmmmm ok man so skyfire uses more internet connection than flash player ok I understand lol I love anime so imma check out some sites Hehe
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] exe127:
Good work Wobly, give you my thumb up!.

but Would you mind custom-make for me?

I am a tidy person, I hate any apps by default and want to install my own.

what I want is:

Added:

-Adobe Flash player

-(left/right)slide bar when incoming phone call

Removed:

-Default Launcher2

-Calculator

-Amazon apk

Thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
I can see for those slides it is not a prob, but you must pick some launcher i cant make you without launcher
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] exe127:
oops,, LauncherPro plz
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
G

I have exam tis days it will done in few if you could wait
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
I forgot i cant exclude APN list because it is config files just delete APN's form settings if dont use Mobile internet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rquattro:
Question for you crazy devs:

Is it possible to erase the default Gallery 3D app and install the Photo Album app from sense roms on this? I freaking hate Gallery 3D, it's so slow!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
You can erase 3D gallery but you must have photo album that is same resolution as magic. i can try to install from 2.1 rogers sense rom and if it works ill post you
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] aca85:
Yes.

how to uninstall system apps > http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/

:))
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Yes that should do it. But which version do you have 32A and 32B? And you dont need to uninstall odex. file just apk. Dont do anything yet
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Ok here is the thing you can uninstall 3D Gallery of course, but it is hard to install any sense roms apps because they are all linked and they have lot more libs then google rom. And you need to find 2.2 sense rom that has same resolution like magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rquattro:
Yeah, I just tested and it didn't work. I've installed some other gallery apps, but they don't popup when another app calls an gallery app (Gallery 3d by default)... I guess I'll have to get used to Gallery 3d :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mental_Atom:
Just to confirm flashing the apps2sd zip DOES work (on my magic anyway) but it did a weird thing (I could feel feedback from the lockscreen but only see boot animation) and I had to pull the battery. SECOND BOOT WAS FINE.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
You must wait a few mins to reinstall apps on sd card maybe that was a problem
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigTicket1989:
when i rebooted after flashing the rom and the port, it stopped at the second screen "ANDROID". i have tried for several times and am sure that i followed every step.

1.33.2013+3.22.20.17+rec sapphire1.7.0
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
32A or 32B?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigTicket1989:
htc magic 32A
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Ok could you pls write me your specs like mine in the signature. So i need full specs so i can tell yo what to do
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
You will need an ENG spl like mine 1.33.2010 (search forum and flash via recovery), you must install ROM 32A version, then bcrook ebi1 kernel port. But first write me down your full specs, that i can point you in right direction
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] LordGiotto:
I can't understand a little thing: does flash works with this rom? (only with skyfire or also with stock browser?) I know that flash player required a different cpu arm version to work, so how is it possible?

Thank you :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
As i said semi working, HTC flash players is optimised for stock browser on sense roms, but framworks are different so it is not integrated in stock browser. However i imported adobe flash from my friends desire and it loads some flash content on skifire like moving pics and stuff but not videos,hoever skyfire can load videos by his optimised video player that is compresed on server(theirs)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] BigTicket1989:
thanks so much. i flashed the spl 1.33.2010 and now everything is ok. so far the rom seems fast and smooth. good job:)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Thx man, enjoy
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mental_Atom:
Battery life seems great for me, especially if you set setCPU to clock down when screen off. Saves a tonne of battery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nutweevil:
what you mean by "great"? How many days can you get? Could you compare it with another ROM? What kernel are you using? ;)

sorry for all these questions and ty for answering ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mental_Atom:
I'm using the 32b kernel posted. I can make it last a day easily with medium to heavy usage but that's along with my setCPU settings I'll tell u my profiles if you want.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Well that is when you oc rom, so it consumes a lot of battery,im on a normal clock it can last 2 days easy. Im 32A rom with ported bcrook kernel that has oc support
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
Here is for all you loyal to ArsADroid, i manged on 32A ROM and ezterry's kernel on OC @ 614 to be batter then Motorola Droid :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gamenelson:
It is very stable.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] WoblyGoblin:
2 days for me,what board do you have
