Question and Answer for Wildfire and Wildpuzzle ROM.

How do you root a wildfire?

Use Unrevoked 3.21. Is it safe? Yes, it is 99.9% safe. Just don't unplug your phone and make sure that your computer is good in condition and it won't restart automatically.

After root, what should I do?

After root, you need a ROM or you can use your original ROM. Here is the list of ROM

Which ROM do you prefer?

Currently I am using Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1 and I feel that it is cool.

What is the difference between original ROM and custom ROM?

Custom ROM such as wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1 unlocked a lot of feature such as live wallpaper in sense, pre-install apps can be deleted and so on. Custom ROM is smoother and gives you more internal memory.

Which ROM is faster? Original or Custom?

After root, you can use custom rom with overclock kernal. Wildfire can be clocked up to 768mhz which is 240mhz more than the original frequency.

How do you install Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1?

Just visit my How to get 165MB in Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1 thread and anything about installing rom, it will be listed there.

If I am using Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1 0.6 and i want to update to 0.7. What should I do?

Here is the problem most of us face. Just download 0.7 and go recovery, install zip from SD and press install. Wait for few minutes, it will become 0.7.

If I want to change my ROM and I want to move my apps to other ROM. What should I do?

First, go market and download on the fly backup.

Then, all your apps will be kept in SD card as APK file.

After you installed your ROM, just open your SD card, all apps will be there.

Press install, and you have all your apps back.

I want the feature that Wildpuzzle ROM v8.0.11 has it, and Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2.1 dont have. What should I do?

Some feature such as enable trackpad to wake only available in v8.0.11 and not v2.2.1. Just download it from V8.0.11 and install it. I will be working.

When I open some of my games, it showed weird stuff such as bad graphic. What should I do?

Because wildfire is a quite low end phone, it doesn't support HD games such as NFS Shift. There is no way to fix it.

Why my angry bird is not working in wildfire?

1st, open angry bird apps.

2nd, when the game is loaded (when you can listen the music), press screen off button.

3rd, switch on screen again and it will work.

What frequency do you use?

I am using 710mhz (performance) when battery >0.0*C (degree Celsius), 122-480mhz (on demand) screen off.

How long can your wildfire battery last for?

I am using 24/7 WCDMA network. With full WCDMA network (full bar) + Mobile Network on, it will last about 4-5hours while ebuddy is on and screen doesn't off.

Do you use Task Killer?

No, I read a thread about task killer. It is bad if you are keep killing your apps.

What if partition not working? Showed >> [a Triangle with a Exclamation point]

1st, try take out your battery and try reboot and partition it again.

2nd, if it is still not working after several tries, try to go market and download the ROM Manager in market.

After partition, your files still in SD card?

1st, try go partition again.

2nd, your phone isn't root yet.

3rd, try another SD card.

When you want to connect your SD card by using Card Reader, it shows "You have to format before using it"

1st, try to get a new Card Reader.

2nd, try another SD card.

I need to change the size of my ext, How??

1st, backup your phone

2nd, copy SD to PC

3rd, go menu > setting > sd and phone storage > unmount SD > format sd

4th, create partition

5th, copy SD from PC

6th, go recovery, restore your phone

7th, all ext and files will restore to ext.

8th, restart and done.

I want cache move to ext. what should i do??

If you are using Wildpuzzle rom 0.6 (or any rom that supported ext cache), you can just install 0.8 and your ext cache will continue working.

I want the apps that have in Wildpuzzle rom 0.6, and 0.8 doesn't have it. How???

Dont worry, you can create your own update zip or apps and install it by visiting How to create your own zip?

My google map navigation is not working? I want it? How?

Just download Brut Mode google map 4.6 and install it. It will work for ANY country.

Special Thanks to anyone that link my page.
