In the tutorial for rooting and flashing cyanogen for Rogers users we have to use a different kernel, so the tutorial says be careful which themes you apply.
I wanted to flash a hero build that worked with EBl1 but the roms I looked at really didn't indicate if this was possible.
So does anyone have a nice hero theme that works with Rogers cyanogen rom'd devices? Eclair would be fine too, just something more interesting than this 1.6

Hi - ive finally taken the big step and rooted my desire (unbranded with OTA Froyo updates) using unrevoked 3.
My question is this ... im not too bothered about flashing new ROMS - although opendesire is quite tempting (but i like all the Sense stuff).
What I would like to do is customise the existing stock ROM. in particular i quite fancy this ...
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/56651-liquid-battery-icon-android.html
So ive found metamorph and installed it .... but it says i need BusyBox .....
Now when I check for BusyBox i seem to be hiting a deadend - in that I cant update this for the Desire.
Now im reasonably tech-savvy but an Android noob.
Can i customise stock ? or do i really need to use another Rom for customisations ??

There's a ROM/Theme kitchen in the Development thread Go search there
Hopefully it works for you.
metamorph dosent work with the desire, i think it somthing to do with the fact we dont have full root yet, if you flashed the ota, becareful trying to theme, i think the official htc roms are odexed, meaning themeing is nearly impossible ........
Hello all,
I like many others, I have installed the new GB ROM from the RUU supplied by HTC and it is "OK". However, i would like something else.
I have seen many guide to install ROMS and it seems more or less clear.
My problem, and maybe the problem for other noobs if the fact that there are so many ROMs out there. It is difficult to know which one to take.
For example, I am looking for plain old stock android 2.3 for the desire. No sense, no extra HTC apps. Just what google would have on the nexus 1. But, I cant figure out which ROM fits that.
Any ideas?
What would be great is sticky which lists the ROMs and their main features for all us noobs. Unless there is one already and I didnt see it
Get Oxygen Rom mate its nice and basic , if u want to go too basic get DevNull
But for starters i think u shud go with oxygen
Pm me if u want to discuss any other details

Well, if you installed official Gingerbread 3.14.405.1 RUU, you can't get root (yet). No root means that you can't install custom rom.

watch the video tutorial too - but it sounds like you want an AOSP rom
Yup, you definitely wanna try Oxygen + it was recently updated to Android 2.3.5.
It's sense free, all bloatware removed, very fast & minimalistic.
http://forum.oxygen.im/viewtopic.php?id=149 (it wasn't updated on XDA yet, but you can download it from there)
CyanogenMod7 will also fit you.
Should have read into what you were doing before you updated. You can't root now, which means no custom ROMs for you. HTC updated HBOOT so no more rooting for the time being. You're stuck with it till someone cracks it. Unlucky dude.
My recommendation:
Sense (2.1+3.0) : InsertCoin 1.0.9
AOSP: Oxygen
no MIUI from me...sorry..
Thanks for all the replies. I am pretty sure it is only a matter of days or weeks at most until I can root. I recall the same situation last update.
It sounds like oxygen is the way to go. Once the root is available I will give it a shot. Thanks.
Sorry if this is a noob question but I did quite a bit of searching and could not find anything.
Is it possible to install stock google roms on a DZ? I would really like to install the latest version then have it update itself by OTA. My phone is rooted and currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.
Thanks!
Id stick with cm7 from my personal experience its close to stock android Rome and it runs remarkably well

Yes, it is possible to run stock android roms on a DZ, there are several different variants out there right now. Just for example there's virtuous g-lite (look in the dev section or on virtuous' homepage) which is currently on version 2.3.5 I believe. A more up-to-date rom seems to be this one: 2.3.7 (please read the op, some issues still remain).
Though, as far as I know, you will not be able to receive OTAs as these are pushed to your phone by your carrier. If you want to receive OTAs on a DZ you will have to revert back to a stock sense rom.
Any ROM that works on the G2 works on the Desire Z (as long as you are rooted and S-Off, which you obviously are if you are on CM7). So if you want, just go to the Developement section and you will find pre-rooted versions of the G2 AOSP ("stock Google") ROMs. But make sure the ROM is pre-rooted. If you install an "official" ROM that is not pre-rooted, you will lose root, and need to go through the whole process again.
Hey all,
For a while now, I have been running a very cool AOKP blend on my s3 with all the latest bells and whistles. I am getting kinda tired of all the little things that dont work on this ROM. Does anyone know if there is a ROM that is basically the stock rom of the S3 except the bloatware is removed? Ideally it would still allow for root if possible. I just need a stable ROM where everything that worked with the stock rom works here.
As always, Thanks in advanced!
You can just use Titanium Backup to freeze/remove anything you don't want in the stock ROM. If you search, I believe there are debloated stock ROMs available elsewhere on xda.

Serenity 1.2
So I've done some searching in the forum (on phone) and wondered if anyone else is having an issue flashing roms other than stock rooted.
I've tried all kinds of other roms cm, miui, liquid smooth, et cetera, and they all get stuck at boot. This is a new thing because I've run all these roms in the past.
I'm on moar 6.1 and it's a great Rom, but I'd like the option to change roms at some point...
You are naming AOSP roms. If you have a newest S3, please try with an updated version. Start with SlimBean build 2( exactly that one) because it's confirmed to work with newest models.

Dude....it wasn't the ROM's fault at all, nor the phone's....it was the loose nut behind the wheel....me.
I forgot (have been forgetting) to format data. For whatever reason, I was manually formatting just the minimums. DANGIT! Works like a charm now...or rather I'm working like a charm now.
Thanks anyway.
