[Q] back to original themes

hello
I am new member
Thanks for support
I had rooted my desire phone and installed a redux rom
but it is changed my original themes
I tried many ROMs (called no theme)
But the theme still not as the original
Now I need to make it back to original theme, But I don't Know how to do this?
or
suggest me a new stable rom with original theme and support AP2SD+
Sorry for my english ...​

I don't know if there is a real "original" rom. Try a sense rom. It is like the original (only a few changes - to the newer sense).
e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988570; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018843;http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170633 - just the roms which were with the newest posts not the "best" ones (I don't use a sense rom therefore I don't know which "the best one" )

Thanx for reply
but I don't need the best ROM or newest Rom Just I need to rom like the original comes with Desire with a2sd plus.
no one backup the original rom before flashing custom one?
I think that backup will help me.
any another help?????
That is so bad for me

You cannot use original (stock) desire with a2sd+. So what you want, is impossible.

Not so true.

Teppic74 did a totally stock ROM, with init.d support just in case. You can install that rom + A2SD+ and have a stock rom with A2SD+!

[Q] Various Desire GSM Rooting and ROM Questions

Hey Guys
So basically here is the deal..
My brother has a very old HTC Desire GSM and now out of warranty.. runs like an elephant.. never rooted.. I am going to be meeting him in few weeks and want to root his phone and put a custom ROM so that his experience increases..
Now he is not a techie, so will take whatever I give him.. I have rooted other phones before.. so not my first time.. but first for this model..
Now my questions are
1) Anything I need to check on Desire for root ability ? I can instruct him over net to check it
2) I guess first step will be to root it.. best to use unrevoked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
3) Then put a custom recovery.. this one best? Clockworkmod recovery?
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-bravo.img
OR touch recovery???
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-bravo.img
Or any other one??
4) Now the ROM -- I normally use Cyanogenmod in phones.. Is that still the best for this .. My main concern is that all hardware should be working and stable.. So which is most recommended?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328
CM: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get.../archive/update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-bravo-signed.zip
Leedroid: http://leedroid.ftp.rshost.eu/Bravo-ROMs/LeeDrOiD_HD_V3.3.3_GB-Port-R5-A2SD.zip OR data edition???? differene??
Any other?? :
Not listing ICS roms as I guess many hardware issues can still be there..
What I am looking for is that he can use app2sd so that he can store apps on SD and save internal memory and is fast , nice, stable and good free memory for the gimmicks
5) Put googleapps package..
Also
1) Any custom kernel / radio needed??
2) What are the steps require to combine all the above??
3) Anything else I am missing for the device
Any help will be great!!!
Cheers

Erm uv kinda got it. CM or oxygen would be your best bet for a rom. Personaly imo i think 4eXT Recovery is the best.
Sent from my HTC Desire

If you want the Sense flavor go with Supernova rom its the original gingerbread update plus the space. Aosp, it would be oxygen or cm7. Oxygen has a built in Apps2sd in it you only need to make a partition on the sd card. I suggest S2E app on the market for apps2sd on CM7.
If running on CM7, you can check ManU kernel. Oxygen use their own kernel so you can use others without breaking functionality.
Get the latest Oxygen rom at http://oxygen.im
If you are going for CM7 or Oxygen I would also recommend to S-off using Alpharev or Revolutionary (what to use will depend on the hboot version) so that you can flash an hboot with custom partition to give you more space. Check the troubleshooting guide on my sig to get an overview. Good luck.

I think this kind of rules CM out.
Best bet to stick with Sense 1.9 roms made for Desire. That way you won't break his routine and he'll reap the benefits of having increased space, battfix if you do it for him, LS tweak etc.

So this one is recommended? Supernova Xtreme?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045824
Or Oxygen 2.3.2 ??
http://download.oxygen.im/roms/update-oxygen-2.3.2-Bravo-signed.zip
Going with higher sense ROM's any better or recommended?? or no point??
and 4EXT Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
Basically looking for a ROM which can make him feel his phone like brand new, make it fast and enough internal memory, save stuff on App2SD (or Data2SD perhaps??)
So in essence. do the following??
1) Root via unrevoked (will check his HBOOT version and post here soon for recommendation) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044
2) install 4EXT recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
3) Install ROM which is either CM7.1 / Supernova Xtreme / Oxygen 2.3.2 ? (please recommend best)
If I choose the above way. do I need to do anything additional like (prefer none if no benefit)
a) kernel update???
b) install seperate app like app2sd or data2sd and configure (would prefer not, would like it inbuilt in the ROM for ease)
c) radio update???
Help me make final decision
Cheers..

Radio update might be necessary. Look at cronmod ROM thread, in desire development. It has direct link to newest radio in the first post. When you're there you can check out the ROM. I like it.
For a tech noob I'd also recommend supernova. Stock kernel is sufficient. I don't remember if you need partitioning, but it says on supernova homepage under instructions. Be sure to follow them.

[Support] [FAQ] [BL7] working GB-based ROMs for green lens defys

Hi @ all.
I want to start a support thread for all those unlucky ones who flashed a BL7-sbf on their green-lensed defy.
NOT the Defy+ or red lens, because the green one is the one for real trouble.
I am aware that you can always install a CM10 by quarx, but I wanted to have a more smooth and stable solution.
You should verify, that you are on a BL7. If you don't know what that means, you should not be here, Do not use these rooting instruction unless you know, you are on BL7. If you're questionning here, what are advantages, or disadvantages, or how you can find out what BL you have, please leave NOW.
This thread is for those who know what's cookin'.
I cannot stress this enough - be sure. search the forums. Don't flood this with useless questions.
I'll try to keep the first posts updated regularly, so that there should be no reason to read the whole thread everytime.
Now let's get started:
1. As far as I know, Froyo is no longer an option.
So, your options start with GB ROMs plus the camera fix. Please comment if they work and how.
I am sure somebody already built such roms.
2. You can also use a 2ndboot-based CM7 build like ms2ginger.
I don't know how many of those exist.
3. What I need you for:
Please add your own rom, when you know it's working on BL7.
Please add the rom you're using, when you're on BL7 with working SOC cam.
Questions:
It would be really helpful to know if ANY GB ROM will work with the camera fix.
It would also be helpful to know, if we should use custom MB525 or MB526 builds as base rom.
Working Roms:
1. MS2Ginger
2. tbc.
3. tbc.
First try (all flashed via custom recovery):
1. I managed to get a working CM 7.2, from early may 2013 with GB Kernel. (cm72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip)
2. Rooted via Defy+ BL7 method (sig)
3. Sndinit 2.3 (you should use 2.0, because some said they had problems with the 2.3 version) i am writing this a week later, so I hope this is correct
5. camera did NOT work
What I did NOT get to work (yet):
1. update-CyanMobile-eXperience-Defy-20130502-Release.zip
2. WajkIUI_multilang_3.1.27.zip
3.
Unfortunately "not working" means usually no more bootups, no way to get into custom recovery for restoring or reflashing, so you'll have to start all over again:
1. Flash first sbf (sig)
2. Flash second sbf for root (sig)
3. Install SndInit 2.0
4. boot into recovery
5. flash your new flavour
...tbc

for supporters
If someone managed to get a custom ROM to work, please provide following informations:
Build# of the "wrong" sbf
sbf's used for root (there are already 2 known combinations, CN & CEE)
used SndInit (should be greater than 2.0 i guess)
full flash instructions
which recovery used for wiping
which one for flashing
how many reboots
approx. duration of the process
ROM Version and build
Information about 2nd boot or 2nd init and when to set it
Does the camera work?
Please, ONLY BL7 stucking ROMs, this is a special thread for special cases.

reserved

Thanks, but this thread is GB-based ROM's only.
I wanted to have a snappier / more responsive / smooth ROM instead of feature-rich slow/laggy ones. - See OP.
To clarify: 2.3.x-based ROM's only.
Thanks anyway.

Confirmed working. :good:

Well, sorry for huuge delays, but I am now on MoKee 34.1 because Rom lags or responsiveness is no longer an issue on Android 4.3
(OK, i missed some features as well)
I might remove the restriction of GB based Roms, but basically every 2nd Boot Rom works so i might collect only Rom trees, no single versions. Any opinions on this?
Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app

I have BL7 and i have blocked for few days in rom 2.3.6 4.5.1-134_DFP-231.
Then i have rooted it by install fixed sbf, and found a good sbf MistyOS-BL7-4.1.2.sbf (if any one want it i will upload it)
this fixed sbf install CM10.1 and u can make it a start point to install CM10.2 and CM11
Now i have CM10.2 work fine, just battery charger only with computer

[Q] Questions regarding using custom ROM's

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to all of this. Have been on XDA before, but that was a while ago.
I don't like my standard Desire HD with 2.3.5 Android anymore. And there is no update for this.
So I thought I'd look here for a custom ROM which could be nice.
However, I've been told that a custom ROM has it's downsides. But before I just blindly believe those claims, I'd like to ask you guys to tell me what the truth is.
1. I've been told that there is no custom ROM which gives you ALL and every function. You always either loose the use of the camera, or the speaker doesn't work.
2. I've also been told that you cannot go on Google Play store when using a custom ROM.
3. They said that you cannot go back to the original HTC Android after rooting and using a custom ROM.
4. In most cases, a custom ROM will improve performance (compared to the stock HTC ROM).
5. And finally: they claim that when using a custom ROM, certain apps or games won't work.
I've got no clue about these things really, but I'm am kinda interested in the whole concept of rooting. I'm good with computers and learn fast, so I do think I can learn how to do this (eventually ).
Thanks.

1. False. At the very least, stock rooted ROMs like Android Revolution HD has everything working. For other ROMs, it depends.
2. False. Flash gapps if using an AOSP-based ROM and Play Store will show up. It comes with Sense ROMs.
3. To some extent, true. If you unlock the bootloader, HTC will know, even if you relock. And if there is no RUU for your original ROM you can't revert to your exact original ROM.
4. True. Depends on ROM optimizations.
5. False. See #1.

Great, thanks for the reply.
Seems for me that if I wanna use a custom ROM, I just need to find a custom ROM that will allow me to use Google Play Store.
Just wondering: what does RUU mean?

Any custom ROM will let you use the Play Store. If one doesn't include it preinstalled, it means that it's AOSP based and you just need to flash gapps. The OP of most ROM threads will have a link to the recommended version. A RUU is a region-specific executable distributed by HTC that installs and/or updates the stock ROM, bootloader, radio, and recovery.

Well, then it seems like I just have to learn what AOSP and Flash Gapps means .
Google is my friend.

GAPPS is Google APPS. Some roms come with all the google apps bundled some dont. The ones that dont you will need to flash the Gapps.zip file straight after flashing the rom.zip file.
Start with Android Revolution v6. Its all the same as you have got now, everything works. You can try v7 which is just a sense upgrade to sense 3.5. Both have gapps included.
If you want to try something new then give jellytime r10 or unofficial CM10.1. Both need gapps downloading seperatly and is linked to in the 1st post of each thread.
Many more roms available, happy flashing
Edit: neither of the last 2 are sense roms.

Thanks for the explanation and the tips!
Am I allowed to either open a new topic where I can ask which ROM is best suited for me, OR should/can I do that in this topic?
I've been browsing the topics in the development sub-forum, and most off them look great and sound great. Just not really sure if I should look for certain things.

Custom ROMs Ror HTC One V (Differences, Bugs, Info)

custom ROMs for HTC one V (differences, bugs, info)
Hello,
I am new to this site, and new to this thing, but I am interested to update my HTC one V with some custom ROM (jellybean or higher) and I wanna know some info about which one is the most stable and popular one, with no bugs or trivial bugs.. It is frustrating because they are plenty of ROMs and kernels here.. and what is the difference between AOSP and AOKP version? somewhere I read that aokp is less stable but better... I actually want features included RAM and CPU clocking, because this is the coolest thing in these custom ROMs.. :cyclops:
- I have HTC one V (GSM) rooted and bootloader unlocked
- I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed
- I have official android v4.0.3
so which ROM you guys prefer to me and which kernel that goes along? and is my CWM version OK or I need other one?.. I really want to get more of this phone than I am getting now.. it's a really nice phone but it's a bit lazy when operating tasks, so it's not for impatient users
I am new to this, but I somehow succeeded to root my V, thanks for detailed instructions on this site, so thanks to you guys ..now I just have to update my ROM, and I will be more than happy

Get kitkat and you'll be happy
It's really fast, mostly bug free and gets security updates...
I use lollipop personally and I like material design to much to go back.

You can't (you really can't) brick your phone by installing a recovery, rom and a kernel.
It's really easy. If your still using the stock rom (rooted or not), you first have to unlock your bootloader. This is important because with a locked bootloader you can't overwrite to parts of your storage.
Just search for some guides (like this one) and only do the unlocking of the bootloader, not the rooting.
After unlocking the bootloader, flash a custom recovery (this is the newest version of TWRP, a popular recovery).
Then you reboot into the recovery and install any custom rom you like. Then you reboot into the bootloader again and flash the kernel for this rom, because the recovery can't do this.
And now you're finished. Just reboot and you'll have your new system.
If you need help with something, just use some guides here in the forum, those things have been explained thousands of times
Oh, and don't forget doing a backup of your data before. It will be deleted when installing the rom.
By the way: "rooting" means gaining root access on your system by using some vulnerability in the system. Root access is a bit like the admin user on windows, it can do everything and has no limits. But rooting only affects your current rom and is only needed in the stock rom. Most custom roms already have root access enabled.

can with only TWRP flash CyanogenMod 11? I see in the post is written that need latest TWRP to flash this ROM..
but I have already CWM recovery 6.0.3.3 installed. So shall I delete it? What is the difference between TWRP and CWM?

TWRP has much more features and has touch support.
Yes, you need twrp, because it's much newer and has selinux support, which is required for installing.
Install this TWRP by rebooting into bootloader and flashing with: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the image you want to flash.

I have used dedicated kernel in zip, it is ok without issue, pretty fast, running for a day now.
btw... I was just considering if I could push the clock of CPU a bit more.. is it possible or it's already done OCed with this kernel? ...is there some app for that maybe?

If you enable developer options you get a performance settings menu in the settings. There you see the kernel is overclocked to 1200 MHz by default, which is still ok on most devices. For my phone it's no problem to go up to 2 GHz, but 1200 MHz is enough for me.

all good, but MMS messages don't work, can't download them.
is this a bug in CM11?
