[Q] 2.1 mods - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys! im new here
since there isnt a 2.2 update for my o2 HTC Desire and i dont wanna use a custom ROM i wanted to ask if there is a way to get circle battery and other mods for v2.1?
thx in advance
EDIT: or stuff like trackballwakeup and so on.

I assume you're rooted since you want these mods?
Why not use a 2.2 rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire

ye the phone is rooted ofc.
well i used cyanogenmod 6 rc2 and it was quite nice but dunno, just wanna stay on the original rom
i found a mod to wakeup the phone with the menu-button, but cant find a mod to get the circle battery with just flashing a .zip file :/

Maybe try a Sense 2.2 roms? Quite a few brilliant ones out there.

u maybe got me a link?
ye well, like i said, i used cyanogenmod 6 rc2 and i loved it cause it was quite fast, but the rom got broken (didnt locked anymore and stuff) so i went back to the original o2 2.1 rom and will wait for the official 2.2 rom

A link to the battery? I don't think they're tested on stock roms, but search super circle battery.
Try a 2.2sense rom, or if you're after speed I'd recommend DeFrost or OpenDesire.

[Q] HTC Sense 2.0 and Stock rom 2.10.405

You know what would be cool?
It would be cool if you could extract sense 2.0 somehow and then build a rooted desire stock rom with that version or just a normal rom with a desire base kernel.
So us Desire owners could get our own desire build with sense 2.0 instead of the original sense 1.0
I know about the desire hd roms but thats not what i mean. I tried that.
they are fast but battery hungry. Im waiting patiently for a better build of a desire hd rom. but for now im just using the stock 2.29 rom because that ruu works. Im not using it because of the battery usage. :/
Anyway. Does someknow know where i can get the official stock rom 2.10.405 to my htc desire?
i have a ruu one already but it fails all the time while trying to install. The error 140 i think is a bootloader error.
and my desire isnt branded. Its a Normal HTC phone without a carrier.
Get 2.29.405.2 (the latest) from my signature and flash that if you want to go back to stock
Not cool. It would take hundreds of patches to make new Sense run on old framework and lib base. So either you use SenseHD, either you use old base. No other way
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Okay.
Well actually i want to get the latest sense 2.0 to my desire running without using much battery so fast.
its not quite useful as the phone will be a dead phone in the day because of battery consumption.
Thats why im asking. maybe flashing another kernel while running sense hd rom would solve the problem?. I wonder if it does. .
At the moment im running stock rom 2.29

[Q]Stock Roms vs Custom ones

Hello folx..
Im using Desire HD for a while and wanted to ask you:
What is the diffrence between stock rom and custom roms ? What do i get if i put custom rom on my desire hd ? I have to root it i know that. But is it worth to put custom rom?
Thanks alot in advance for responses..
as i can see in your signature, why have you modde your HD2? the same reason to not be controlled by anyone to what you do with something that you own, to be free of bloatware that the companys want sell you. that is why i keep mine as plain as possible.

Yes, i modded my HD2, because it has Wm stock on it, and i wanted android.. But i still cant see right bemefits of custom android roms for DHD.. Maybe im not reading much...
Briefly - Most custom ROMs are better optimized for speed, smoothness, battery life, user customization, extra settings etc. Not only that but most bugs are fixed before HTC would ever get round to it.
Do it, you wont look back
But , if i root my phone, i loose warranty ? Is there any chance i could "unroot" my phone ( revert to process of rooting, so i can keep my warranty for any case..) ?
If it's anything like the Hero (which I'm sure it is), then flashing an official HTC RUU ROM will remove root.
Best to check in the DHD development section though, there's a FAQ there
EDIT: As always, it's best to do as much of your own research and reading as you can before trying anything new, but here's a link to a thread about removing root etc: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9985360#post9985360

[q] root help

Hi all genius guys,
I got htc dhd running android 2.3. It's not rooted yet. I like to root my phone if it's safe so, I love to test the new sense 3.0. I was wondering how should I root my phone that running android 2.3. Is the new sense 3.0 stable on htc dhd. Can I back up my current ROM and can I recover it back to it's original state incase any problem occurs.
Hope It's making sense. since I don't know much about android.
Many Thanks
Hey, welcome
Have a look here

Second post has a lot of links and info you would need
quick question do you know if you're dhd is vers 2.3.7? If so no root as yet...
Otherwise follow info above , you're apps etc stay with google, so make sure you sync.
You can back up sms , browse the market for that one.
Returning to stock is not too hard, you can find stock ruu's within xda to bring you back to ground...
Most of all read up well , spend some time and then attempt rooting you're phone so as to have a little understanding.
Sense 3.0 is great, you have lots of choices , try 'unity' , very promising, and good support there , personally looking into ' beatmod flyersense' a port of the flyer rom.
Anyway that should get you started.

That's ok , I found it difficult to begin with and it helps if someone can guide you along , if I come across a 2.37 exploit, I'll post it here so you can see , will save you searching all over for it.

Guide to GB ROMS?

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.

Best thing if you want Stock ROM is Android Revolution HD, BEST stock based ROM (Sense 3.0, 2.3.5 Gingerbread)
Although you might like to experiment with other Android versions, like AOSP (exactly as Google intended it), AOKP (slightly modified), CyanogenMod (Different thing altogether) or even MIUI (if you like the iPhone's simplicity)
