As far as i can remember, most of us here did a radio flash first and stayed with it for a week coz we were so amazed by the battery improvement :D

But here's the thing. Every ROM has what we call a RIL. Radio Interface Library. It's the software that's involved with your radio. As new ROMs are released, so as the RILs. So you need to use the right RIL for a certain radio. So flashing a radio does matter in the long run.
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
Interesting.. but i'm still confused figuring out which radio is compatible with a specific rom . . coz according to what i've read, the phone is very likely to be bricked if radio and rom are not compatible.. kinda scares me..
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Just don't flash anything without checking the MD5 hash, especially on radios. The MD5 hash is some kind of a digital fingerprint of the file. If the hashes don't match, it's either the file is corrupted or has been tampered with.

But so far, i never heard of a bricked DHD after flashing a radio.

Jacob, have you heard of a bricked DHD after radio flash?
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
i'm checking the instructions on how to flash a custom rom, it says there "Copy both your full-wipe-1-3.zip and your rom zip file to your SD Card"

what is that full-wipe-1-3.zip ?? this is getting really complicated.. :confused:
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I have but the problem was, the guy flashed a kernel file which was supposed to be a radio file... And he's the only one :D

It's easy to flash radios now and a little safer if you've done what you need to like verify if the radio download has matching md5s and set up adb correctly on your PC...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That file just automates the steps for you instead of manually wiping one by one through CWM. It also means that when you flash a new ROM, wiping will help make sure that any old files that you'll replace won't conflict with the new one, especially if they have a different base... It'll get easier, don't worry :D
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
i see. thanks for helping me man, appreciate it..

i have just decided to flash RCMix 5.9.6

do i need to flash a custom radio for this ? if so, can u give me the link ? thanks

once im done flashing this rom i'm basically back to zero right ?

and how are u guys able to have all of your stuff after flashing a new rom ?

sorry for being an ass about all of these, i'm totally new about all of these stuffs.. :p
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Radio thread is HERE

Recommended radio(s) for 5.9.6 are the two latest radios released on april 4th and 20th. Or check my sig or Jacob's

And don't worry about it....we're all been an "ass" once ;)

Guys, where can I buy desire HD battery cover? I checked HTC SM Annex and they don't sell parts, was told to contact their service centers.

There's one at brando hk, but shipping takes about 3 wks. Just asking in case HTC service center doesn't have stocks. Thanks.

hey guys,

i just wanted to ask where can i buy 16 gb or 32 gb sd cards? any suggested stores? :D 8 gb is not enought anymore :P
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Same base as MDJ's? I'm on V7 right now. So far so good. But on OnDemand right now. It's more friendly on the battery than Interactive. But i'm not sure if Interactive needs to stabilize over time.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Probably but he's still working on it. There's mdj V8 out right?

Btw, V8 works well with 5.9.7
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
There were reports that V8 lags a bit compared to V7. Can't wait for the LD kernel :D

EDIT:

It's already up! LeeDrOiD-Ace-GB-V1.0.1-KERNEL-2.6.35.13

I like the way how the new LD GB Kernel blends with the latest CoreDroid v6.0. :)
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Ok na ba mga GB ROMS? Hindi ko parin inuupdate yung Froyo ko eh. HAHA
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Gonna try the new LD for now.. btw, which one is the most stable? ARHD seems "hilaw".
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
LD GB kernel on RCMixHD 5.9.7, so far so good.

Maybe in a few days, Lee will take MDJ's kernel to the next level. :D It has smartass already on the first release. And is planning many many more.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
MdjV8 hangs above 1516Mhz for me on RCMixHD...
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Look for RCMixHD 5.9.7 - the unthemed rom is completely stock, solid and you'd probably only need to replace the bootanimation.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
LD hangs for me..

Kaya pala.. 1900 SetCPU ko. LOL
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Probably the reason Lee's kernel is only up to 1497 which has a base of V8
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
LD seems nice. Lacks 3.0 stuff except for the lockscreen.

I thought you could drag the ring to something and it'll launch that program?
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Tae ayaw gumana godville..

My bad. Firewall pala. HAHA.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
The Pyramid version allows customizable Widgets. The ones they're using now is just a lockscreen with default activity Widgets. Not very nice nor useful for now...
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Is the Pyramid version out yet? It looks cool as a lockscreen though.. Something different.

It seems the GB Roms are stable now. Compared to before where I usually run into some hiccups while typing a message or scrolling through screens. It seems faster than Froyo now.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
To me, even with stock GB kernel, it was faster than froyo :D
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Lee's kernel is amazing as usual. I think he's better making custom kernels than making the ROM itself. :)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
I think Apache14 just released his GB kernel. It's on AR changelog now.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Indeed... I'm sticking to the current version of GB from RC Team. They originally tried to update the base and incorporate some pyramid stuff but now that the decoder is out, the Pyramid rom is very near for our DHDs to enjoy :-)
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Currently with RCM 5.9.7 mdj's V8 works better than LD's release. Got a couple of batt pulls with LD, V8 runs smoothly at 1516 :-)

Can't wait for the Pyramid ROM! The DHD Gingerbread got pretty old real quick...!
[Desire HD General] kuklux:
Now enjoying ARDH 5.1.3 no issue so far and i like apache doing in kernel no lag so far this kernel is better that mdj

OT: anu gamit nyo screen protector? D rin pala maganda momax nasama ko kz phone ko together with my credit card pag kuha ko sa phone ko nag ka scratch sa screen im glad screen protector lng wala sa mismong screen now trying diff brand so any suggestion?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
There's one from Capdase, matte and supposedly clearer than momax.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Edit: May 4th kernel V3.0.1 is better than mdjV8. Seems Lee got his groove back :-) Helloo smartass@1497!
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Currently loving LD. Officially moving on to LD from being an ARHD nut.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
lovely! :D Flashing...
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I bought the official slip case online and I should have early next week. Right now I'm using a side slide out one I bought from a case shop. It's not bad but I wouldn't call it sexy. That is, unless you think a fridge is sexy.

A little joke there.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
I'm impressed that there's a thread for Filipino users. I'm planing to get this phone by the end of next month which is end of Feb and I badly want to root it and have a custom rom installed but the thing is I'm worried. I do know how to follow instructions well and I've read a lot even I don't have the phone. Sometimes its just confusing since there are lots of links bringing me to different pages so its hard to know where is the start. I hope someone kind enough who could help me out through chat.

Much appreciated. Thank you.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
is this gonna be your very first android smart phone?
[Desire HD General] armen16:
Yes it is going to be my first Android and going to be so proud of it. I can't say I'm a total newbie at this. I'm sure I can do it. I already got many notes in my head. I just don't want to take it for granted. Thanks for the fast reply.

How much is the Class 4 16 GB in datablitz mate?

P1750 Class 4 Kingston 16GB MicroSD HC.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
well android phones are typically easy to root. however, i must say that DHD is one of the few that's a little bit tricky. it's simple after you've done it once so be extra careful when doing permanent root and flashing of custom ROM coz bricking a 30K smart phone is sure going to hurt...a lot!

there are many "experts" here if you may so asking help from them should be easy.. good luck!
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
Bro its very easy to root, install clockwork recovery, s-off and eng-off or flash custom rom.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
I know. I actually found a seller who sells it brand new and with good reputation. It costs 24,500 brand new and sealed also open line.

Did you root and installed a custom rom? If so can I add you up somewhere for some help I would appreciate it and besides I live in Manila so I hope I can find someone who can help me with it.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
perma rooted and flashed custom roms a couple of times but i'm not sure if i'm the right person to walk you through the entire temp root + perm root + flash custom rom process. i'm bad at giving instructions so i might do more harm than good. :(

wait for a couple of hours and, surely, someone's gonna reply to your post. :D
[Desire HD General] Lopio:
My son is buying 1 now @24k, on d way na sya to pick it up, it has no htc phil warranty, we dnt need the warranty cause were goin to flash custom rom right away.and it voids the warranty, if you do the proper procedure its safe. Ive been flashing rom since the smart amazing phone of 2003.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
Unfortunately, HTC's official stand is that any phone purchased outside a carrier is not covered by warranty. What this means is that any HTC phone purchased through any reseller is not going to have a warranty attached though many sellers unfortunately say their customers will get a warranty attached when they won't. That being said, it does not mean there is no chance HTC won't serve the warranty if there is a problem, but it's not a guarantee. If you are concerned about a warranty though, you might want to go through SquareTrade and purchase one for minimal cost, but that is obviously always up to you.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
Thank you for the heads up.

I didn't know clockwork recovery is an app that can easily have options.

I have to check it on youtube how it works.

I don't want to go wrong but how's the phone is it worth the buy? I know about the battery issues but then it keeps improving after every new custom mod or update comes out right? This is the best phone at 1Ghz so I hope its all good. Anyone here who lives in Manila?
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Does this apply to only local carriers? Because we can always superCID and flash a carrier RUU to gain warranty if it applies to international carriers as well. I'm not so familiar with the warranty ToC since whenever I buy a product, I always test it out because I assume that when it breaks, warranty will be a pain in the ass to pursue. (Well.. unless you know a guy..)
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
surely the flagship for HTC (factory unlocked with no carrier logos)...

probably the best Android Smart Phone in the 1Ghz single core family..

but come MWC 2011, i doubt if the above statements will still hold true. the dawn of the dual core era is already here. Motorola Atrix and LG Optimus 2x are definitely one of the firsts. so beautiful that i could cry...LOL
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Download Visionary to gain temproot. Then apply permroot. Then get the one-click s-off, eng-off with unlock and superCID.

Then get Rom Manager and instal CWM from that.

This is a summary, kindly go to the DHD Android Development page for proper instructions. There are step-by-step instructions there. I'll edit this post when I find the link.

Regarding the phone, it's one of the best out there. There are no battery issues. Aside from the rubber covers' build quality, and the power button, it's perfect. There's no lag whatsoever, widgets are great, HTC software downloads are great, screen is great, battery is great and the aluminum casing is great.

Some people say the speaker and camera sucks.. It's a phone; stick a headset to get dolby quality and use a proper digital camera if you're an enthusiast. You don't see professional photographers taking your wedding pictures using a smartphone, do you?
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
SGS is still on par with the DHD. I have both. :)

I think dual cores should be reserved for tablets (Battery Life) unless they employ the Atrix's concept. Dual Core gaming on a phone's screen is too much of a waste imo.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
it most probably refers to those carriers whom HTC has contracted with like Vodafone UK (HTC Desire HD), Verizon US (HTC Thunderbolt), AT&T (HTC Inspire 4G) for example. there is no carrier for HTC in ph though.
[Desire HD General] armen16:
I agree. I don't have high expectations from the external speakers or cameras. But the rest yes. I really like the smooth performance and appearance. I don't want to spend almost 40k for a iPhone 4 with 1Ghz processor.

Can I add anyone up in Yahoo messenger? If not its alright. Thank you once again I will keep track and beside I'll get the phone end of next month so I'm sure there will be some updates if not then better I can catch up.
[Desire HD General] redlinux:
ah SGS, yes! those samsung guys did a great job with super amoled. the only downside is, and i personally really want to say this, they seem to have less product life cycle. SGS is surely a phone to beat but, oh dear, it is still stuck with Android 2.1. i heard there is an update for 2.2 (flash leaked firmware or manual update from samsung) but just when was that? it only got timely for Samsung Google Nexus S that it's the current flagship of Google so it got Gingerbread.

as for HTC, and i know im sounding bias, they have fully supported their older models even up to FroYo. now that's a really nice phone with a really nice manufacturer!! :D
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
LD v3.0.1 smartass @ 1800 seems stable.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Got a freeze on LD kernel @1800 interactive running Quadrant.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I read somewhere that quadrant isn't optimized for GB... Not sure about that but I get 2500-2700 on performance w/o lwp @1497 on the 3rd and 4th run. Regardless of QScores, the kernel is great overall, I did loose Opera browser flash playing YT vids but working well on stock browser. The kernel package includes flash fix and libs... Not really a huge problem... :-)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Well, the freeze was no biggy really :) Just wanted to know the QScore @ 1800. Then gave me the hassle of removing my commuter case just to remove the battery :D

I think i'll try 6.1.0.1 tonight if i'm bored. Or probably AR just to feel the 2.36 build.

Anybody tried this EASY-UPGRADE-WIPE-1.3 already?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
I see, it might skyrocket to 3000+ that's why it froze lol...

I've only used the old easy wipe once, worked okay... Never wiping again... He he... :-)
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
Good news guys. I'm now on Android version 2.3.3. I updated just a few minutes ago OTA so I have not really tried anything yet. No sense 3, however.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] lawrence27:
2.3.3 OTA here in the philippines?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
You were probably on stock 2.2 then?
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
It's likely because I have a European phone, but its welcome. It's rather strange however. The speakers are audable now and everything is faster, but Quadrant is showing very bad numbers.

Cheers from my DHD.
[Desire HD General] junta_mpb:
I was, yes. Now all I need is to wait for the desire update.

There is no Sense 3.0, so I may still pick up the sensation.

Cheers from my DHD.

Good news for stock users :D
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
I'm not sure if I'm on the right rom, I have RCMix 5.9.6. I don't know if this is customizable or what. Any suggestions ? I want to have some sort of fancy icons, widgets, themes etc.
[Desire HD General] timoti.sy:
Usually ROMS are for performance optimizations and overall stability.

Now for fancy icons, widgets, themes etc., I'd have to break them down.

1. Icons can be downloaded off the market or uploaded into the gallery via sd card. These can then be accessed to be used as icons through several launcher replacements or folder apps.

2. Widgets, the only ROM for us that has custom widgets is any ROM with Sense. For other fancy widgets, there's the market or 3rd party side loading. If you mean changing the current Sense widget's themes, that's a different thing altogether. Those are under HTC Skins. There are a bunch of Skins from HTC itself and there are also custom made Skins. These can be side loaded with or without a custom ROM.

3. Themes can be flashed onto any ROM as long as it is compatible with the baseband. The theme basically resides in the file framework.res and can be flashed and reflashed. For themes, the safest way is to get on the ROM's page, yours would be RCMix, and see what themes are compatible for that version you have.

Hope these help.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Hmm....i might find myself back to AR soon :) I just like how mike organize his thread. Everything is in the first few pages and no need to ask questions :D Just waiting for the CRT and USB mods.

I think Capy stopped working on 6.1.0.1 and began working on a ROM based on the Kingdom leak (Evo 3D).
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Since you just started with your very first ROM, be careful with RCMix mods. RCMix mods are all over the place. Some mods are outdated and can cause undesired things on your setup. One mod gave me a boot loop once :D. Then i found out that that mod is for a different ui framework. RCMix changes ui framework from time to time.
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
+1 development on RC is shared by the op (capy) and a lot of contributors. Its easy to get lost in the thread and what file fixes what...

On a more positive note, I'd suggest you flash to the newer 5.9.7 and apply themes from the second post. Anything above version 6 is quite scattered in fixes and there's a lot of careful backtracking to make the hybrid rom work perfectly. Even with catching up with everything, the hybrid isn't 100% complete.

5.9.7 is quite stable and extra snappy if used with LD's May 4th kernel.

I personally would stick to 5.9.7 because I have no problems with it, crt and stock lockscreen is built in. I got the green glow working and flashed my own recipe from the UOT. Battery life is same as stock and a little extended with the LD kernel.

The main benefit to the build is that Facebook for Sense and HTC Sense syncs consistently. Phone finder works for the first time on my DHD... Last time it worked for me was back on using a DHD rom for the HD2 :-)
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
thanks man.. i'll keep this in mind.. =)
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
PLEASE HELP! I don't know what happened, I just ticked on mobile network the first time since I got this RCMixHD rom and now I have totally no signal and has error that says unexpected error com.android or something like that.. what should I do ?
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Back to my roots, ARHD :D

ROM: ARHD 5.1.3

MOD: CRT, Sense 3.0 USB and Stock % Battery

QScore @1228: 2208

As promised, ROM seem very fast. Lightning GPS lock (i like). Superb battery.

Will give more info when available :)
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Have you tried rebooting? Did you flash any mods?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
That tick is to turn off your mobile signal... Like the post above me suggests, try to reboot and check it again.
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
I have already tried rebooting several times and same thing, the mobile network is unchecked because I'm only on prepaid, I was about to try accessing the internet over 3G that's why I ticked it. The error message says Unexpected error com.android.phone has failed then there is an option to tap force close. The error keeps on showing up. The mobile network is grayed out. All I did next was to activate air plane mode to prevent the message from showing up. And what do you mean if I flashed a mod ? What is a mod ? dumbest question ...................
[Desire HD General] arvinsheet:
I tried flashing a different rom and it fixed the problem.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
You still on stock radio? Have you flashed a radio since?
[Desire HD General] Jacob1369:
Mod = flashed anything on top of the rom could be a simple as a theme or a fix for non-working apks.
[Desire HD General] tingardz:
Jacob, i've read Apache's kernel is based on Lee's source :) AR felt a bit faster, or just me :D maybe because its on full ext4. Got 2208 qscore even at 1228 clock.
