My system information on desire is
Android version 2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.15-gd966f2c0
Build 2.14.207.1 CL233777
All I want to do is be able to install apps2SD, I read somewhere with app2sd+ it lets you fool the phone in thinking you have more internal memory is this true?
I am a complete NooB at this so I just dont want to jump right in, I would like to somehow backup my stock ios so if anythink does go wrong and can reinstall back to default. All help welcome
shanks

if anything does go wrong, then just get the same RUU you've got now, and flash..
hope this helps!

You can indeed but if you read the guides carefully and be thorough you can't really go wrong
Thanks I'll have ago on Saturday off work then, if I do all this and 2.3 comes out can I still update or have I got to install a 2.3 Rom.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
A 2.3 official update to a branded desire is not going to come soon, anyhow you'll be rooted soon and a custom rom version of 2.3 will be released months before the official, so you might as well just stick with a custom 2.3 ROM.
But if you decide you want the official 2.3, then you apply the RUU, and then the update.
Ok thanks witch Rom is the best out there for app2SD?

Anything that supports EXT4
EXT3 is enough for A2SD+
Am going to try leedroid that seems the best out there from what I read

It's not, just a lot of people seem to recommend it...
What would you say is better?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It's not really fair on the dev's to state a 'best' rom, i would suggest you try a few different roms out as it will be down to your own personal preference. The most popular ones are listed on the first page of the Android Development section of the forum. Have fun flashing

That's about as good a reply as you'll get
Yes your probably right, I'll try leedroid out first. If it dose what it say I don't think ill try anymore. Just want 1gb of internal memory lol

Hi forum...
In the Sonyericsson X10 section, we have a flash util, so we can flash whatever firmware version we want...
Do something like that not exist for the desireHD ?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
It's called radio S-OFF.

Thanks for your answer..
So there is no flashtool to use, in order to revert back to an older Rom like them we have available to our X10 phones ?
The x10 can be flashed with all kind of stock roms using a simple flashtool, and without any changes like Root and s-off things...
The tool probably act like Sonyericssons update service SEUS..
But to understand this correct, there is no way back at all for us who didn't think about it, and just updated to the latest firmware ?
I'm sorry for the questions, but many things is called something else, and looks completely different here at desire hd section, when I am used to the x10 terms...
So it is all a little confusing...

Take a look in the Android Development section of the DHD Forum and you will find all you need. You do need to get root and then RADIO S-OFF but there are two simple tools to achieve that. See HERE for the guide.
If u accepted the latest OTA and did not have radio S-OFF then there is no way back................at the moment.

If you have stock rom 1.7x you have to downgrade it. There are some guides on how to do that in the developer part of the desire hd forum

Ok. Thank you. Is there q method that I should be looking for in particular? Found ten different ways to do it. Many thanks

Use the method that is in sticky roll up thead in android development subforum.
Ok. Thanks again....much appreciated. Sorry for all the questions. Is there a Rom available with a workable version of 2.3 available? Or will the DHD be getting the upgrade. Find the phone has a lot of stuff in it I don't need and I think its creating a lag. Thanks again

It is possible somehow to check if you have Desire Z or G2?
I am asking because I would like to find stock ROM for my phone. What I know is that CID is HTC_032 if it is of course useful information. My operator is Era.
Your kidding right?
Anyway just look at the back of your phone if it just says hTc than you have the desire z if it says G2 you have the G2, but the G2 is only on tmobile so unless you imported it you have the desire Z.
Or if it says tmobile on the top of the screen its a g2.

Ok thanks guys i wanted to make sure i know all about that

If you are still on the stock ROM, you can check the ROM version by going to Settings>Phone Information>Software, or something similar (I'm not on the stock Sense ROM anymore, so my menus are a bit different). You should be on the stock Euro Desire Z ROM, but there are 1.34 and 1.72 versions (and multiple versions of each). Newer DZ's might be shipping with the 1.72.
You can get the stock ROMs here:

Ok nice link, but has sb some key to figure out which could be the one from Era or at least for Polish market?

Are you still on the stock ROM? Did you check the ROM version like I instructed?
Unfortunately not and this my problem.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Looks like the OP has a DZ and not a G2. How can you tell? The XDA app detects what phone you have, correct?
Correct me if i am wrong, but having "HTC Vision" would mean "HTC Desire Z" and having "T-Mobile G2" would mean "G2". Unless that is ROM dependent, but still, it is a slight indication.
Did you purchase the phone used? Where are you located in the world?

No I bought it as a new from one of our telcom providers Era. So it was probably branded, right? My region is Poland.

Did you do a Nandroid (Clockworkmod) backup before flashing the custom ROM? You should always do that. That will let you return to stock. Not sure how much branding the Euro carriers do to their phones. Someone else on your carrier will need to provide some info.

Yes, now I know it so now I am like Robinson Crusoe, flashing new ROMs and making backup from the last one which was working. Now I am on Virtuous and I like it pretty much.
I kinda figure that would be the case (no backup) but just threw it out there, as it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.
Does your carrier have stores where you can walk in and look at the demo model to see what ROM version? Was the stock ROM in English, or Polish? If English, I'm guessing that one of the WWE ROMs on shipped-roms.com is what you want, but there are 8 to choose from.
Otherwise, I think users on here from your carrier are your best hope. Maybe change the title of the thread to something like "Please help: Polish Era customers, Stock ROM version needed" to get their attention.
Any particular reason you want the stock ROM? Do you need to return to factory condition for warranty, or just want to have the stock ROM on hand in case that ever happens?

Is it possible somehow to make a backup of original stock Rom, if it is 1.7 or 1.8? I had to make a downgrade before rooting to 1.34 according ti the guide, so you do you mean backup of 1.34 or 1.7?

Ok, but how to do this before downgrading and rooting? I have found a colleague who has the phone from the same operator I would like to get from him his Rom because I didn't make backup of my own original stock one. We would like to do this before downgrading and rooting. How to do that?

I am a new user of the HTC DHD, i wanna know if there is any rom that has the least bugs and good battery as i am on the official 2.3.5 android and the battery life is making me wana die, i need my wifi all the time so please suggest a rom which has no problem with wifi and app running
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Which rom do you currently use ? the stock one ?
If so, Sense consumes a bit more battery than AOSP roms.
I used to have Cyanogenmod 7.2 with LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel. And it is very very good.
That's for GB roms.
Both JellyTime and IceColdSandwhich roms are good too (but still in beta).
But Wifi is far from being cool with a battery ... Wifi is energy-greedy!!

If you wand the stock HTC look a recommend android revolution
If you wand better performances and battery life use AOSP(android open source project) or Cyanogenmod of AOKP(android open kang project)
Ice cold sand witch have verry good battery life (only bug is camcorder for wat I know)
Which one do u recommend? Aosp or aokp?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Cyanogenmod 7.2 is rock stable !
Most of the GB rom are very stable too, and almost bug free.
You have to try each rom, Sense feeling ? Aosp one ?
I used SmartDroid for a long time and really enjoyed it.
Newer roms, 4.0 or 4.1 based are still buggy and lack some features but are already very fast and gives you the most recent android experience.
It's up to you to find the one that fits your needs.
One more point, updating your Radio can be good for your battery too.
I personnaly use 26.14.04.28_M without any issue. (but I may update it now, as I've just flashed Jelly time )
I think i'll go for the cyanogen 7.0, does it give a better battery life?
And btw what is "kernal" and which one should i use and how?

Go for 7.2 instead of 7.0
7.2 is the stable one for Desire HD: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
A kernel is the core of the operating system. To extremely sum up, it deals with your hardware and your programs.
Installing a new one can give you some optimizations, better response, better battery etc.
I personally used the LordModUE kernels. Here is a direct link for the lastest version: http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
But be aware that to flash a kernel, you need to first boot with the kernel of the rom (here the CM one), then flash the new one.

First of all, and prior to flashing any rom, you need to perform a nandroid backup.
This is a backup of your current ROM, making an image of each partition, to be able to restore it later, in case of a crash or anything else.
Once you've rooted your phone, a recovery should be installed.
To perform a nandroid backup, you reboot into recovery and choose "backup".
Or, you can install Rom Manager from the market, and choose the same option.
Once this is done, and only after this, you're good to flash any rom you want !
Another method exits to reflash the stock rom, using RUU.
I won't explain this as you can find your answer on this forum.
EDIT: don't forget to check MD5 or SHA1 sum to check the ROM/kernel integrity you download.
I use camera a lot is there any jelly bean custom mod with a working camera cause I am now bored to look at the dame gingerbread is since past 1 yr almost....want some change....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, Jelly Time has a working stock camera app.
Actually, video recording in 720p is the only issue. Then, yes, I can take pictures with the stock app on Jelly Time ROM (currently beta 11).
If you want to record a video, you'll have either to change the resolution to 480p or use another app from the market (Videocam Illusion I believe, didn't test it though).
More information here.
The others JB based ROMs are currently too immature for now, and are not as stable as JellyTime.
Also, please be warn that you need to read the opening post (OP) carefully, the moderators are getting annoyed with all the same questions, which answers can be found in the OP.

Yes your contacts, data and all personal data will be wiped upon flashing a new ROM, as flashing a ROM almost always requires you to wipe the data partitions. I reccomend you backup all of your data to avoid it. If your android and Sense version is android 2.3.5 and Sense version 3.0 then then you will have to downgrade your software version then attempt root
