Hi,
I'm using RcMixS Version 1.2 with Cyanogen hboot at the moment. I'm not very noob and i know that i should wipe before installing a new rom. But i want to ask if its possible to flash the newest version without wiping? Or is it even recommendable to install the newest version? I Don't know whats different because there's no changelog.
From 1.1 to 1.2 it was just an update, too.
Wipe only if you have any problems

I agree with you. I have updated from 1.1 to 1.2 and now to 1.3 with only cache wipe and have no problems.

Can anyone help. I use Leedroid HD GB 3.2.1 on my Desire HD and he recommends in his post to flash CWM 3.0.2.8, after following his link to the CWM files it recommends CWM 3.2.0.0 but i don't know which one to flash? Does it matter? Do I go for recommend version or latest?
Sorry I'm new here and this is the first time I have ever used a forum.
:S

Ok... Thanks.

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?

And one mre question, if i flash a custom rom will i be able to get back to the stock htc firmware?

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.

What is AAHK? can u please post the links as well and will my contacts, apps and messages get deleted if i flash a custom firmware?

Advance Ace Hack Kit - a tool developed by former xda member attn1 used to root, SIM Unlock & ENG S-OFF (ENG S-OFF allows you to flash custom ROM's without security checks e.g. md5 checks, bypassing restrictions placed by HTC on our device). He removed the link to it from the forums as he left xda due to personal reasons. Search attn1 ace hack kit on google to find it, as he hosts it on his website now

A mod already said it's ok to link the website as long as the link isn't for a direct download to the aahk

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

Good Morning..
for some days i am googleing though the web to find a solution for the following problem. I want to go for a custom rom or ordering a Galaxy Nexus. For both it would be nice to have a backup of my app data, such as savegames. But the only working methods i found, need to have root. But if I root my device, it has to be downgraded with a wipe of the data.
I really hope you have a solution for this, although i think there is no.
I keenly want to know too whether any solution exist for situation like yours..I have been looking to root and upgrade to custom rom from my 2.3.5 Gingerbread.
