I am lost, seriously!

Howdy!
I am currently pulling my hair out because I tried so many roms and I lost control over my HTC Desire. I am guessing I am currently on Android 2.1. I want to use a ROM that has no HTC Sense and is rooted. But all those roms are coming with so much annoying extra's I just don't want. And some of those roms tells me that some things are working and some not, that olso scares me.
When I click 'About my phone' I see the following information:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Smallband version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernel - and18-2 #1)
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
I hope somebody can point me in the direction I want because I am fairly new to the android phones,
Thanks!

i had kinda the same problem as you.tryed many different roms and now i'm happy with opendesire + launcher pro instead of adw launcher.

I think LeeDrOiD Mod might be good for you. Froyo with sense and not much extras. Just need to format and make ext partition to your sd card and you are good to go.
Edit: SPEED READ IS BAD... sorry. I thought u was looking for sense rom. .. lol
Edit 2: LeeDrOiD is still good point to start. I dont run sense either but adw, but i still like to use htc calendar etc.

Thanks guys. I decided to use the HTC default rom and rooted. I'll try from here out to tweak and remove some stock applications.

Which ROM to start with?

So i'm planning on Rooting my Desire (Bravo PVG1 SHIP -SON, HBoot 0.93 , Radio 5.11.05.27)
Any recommendations? i was thinking about CyanogenMod 7.
Other thing i would like to ask is Gold Card, do i really need to make it? I'm asking because i dont have second sdhc card.. im not sure if i have any brandings in my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version - we'll go from there

Android 2.2
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version 2,6,32,[email protected] #1
Build number 2.29.405.5 CL293415
Software number 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
The exact model number of my phone is HTC Desire A8181.

Awesome! Right, before you do anything download this:

It's the RUU of the stock ROM so should you ever need to go back to stock you can.
As for what ROM to start with, a lot of people suggest LeeDroid as it's an easy introduction to a rooted ROM yet still has Sense. Not sure how up-to-date it is these days, mind

My first ROM and still using it, is LeeDroid and I havent even bothered to look at others, it works perfect, very fast and give you A2SD+.

LeeDroid is kinda outdated, why not try some GB(Gingerbread) Roms?

Depends if the person likes Sense. I do so having tried the (buggy) 2.3 ROMs available I'll be waiting for a Sense-based 2.3 ROM

Gingerbread roms are fine really. Working for me no problem.
I think there should be a dedicated thread about roms because this is prob the 100th thread on what rom should I choose or what ever this week. Seriously.

I just successfully rooted and installed my first custom Rom (LeeDrOiD 2.3d).
Much <3 for all the help!
Cheers.

[Q] 2.2 or CM7 on DEFY

I am new to the Android phone, and I purchase the Defy on last sunday, I like this phone and those function, but I am thinking to upgrade the firmware to 2.2, the salesman say it can be download 2.2 OTA at April, but after a week and there is still nothing.
So now I am thinking upgrade to CM7, one question, after installed the CM7, can it downgrade to the original 2.2 OTA?
Also I am focusing to the Hotspot feature. Is it work fine?
my phone version is
2.59.0.MB525.Retail.n.CH18
firmware version
2.1 update1

Yes, i have done that tomorrow. I don't like some modifications that i was used to, in the contact list, that have changed in the CM7. I'm gonna wait to another version to see if will get better what i want.

it seems like cm7 is still in beta-mode if i was u i would wait untill a stable verison comes out

If you don't want to be flashing fixes every other day i recommend not going with CM7. It runs great for light usage but it has many issues for now.
I recommend going with a 2.2 rom like my EphuNord. It is a clean Blurless 2.2 rom with a few modifications to allow easy themeing. I also uploaded around 8 themes.
If you follow the correct procedures you can always downgrade as far as 2.1 again if you need to.

thx for information, but which is the most stable for 2.2? I saw some post that some rom are not compatible?! Any recommandation? I want 2.2 or above.
I am lost on upgrade or not.

I want to update to ephnord 2.2
But want to downgrade back to 2.1
I am 2.51 uk(the phone came with it)

For Now 2.2 will be a better choice as the CM7 is its beta phases so let it come as a stable build...
N dude make sure while upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 you does not lose ur downgradability and for that use the excellent work from fritolays so that u can downgade back to ur original firmware just by flashing 2.1 firmware of ur choice back...

Were can i find fritolays`s work,thanks in advance mate.

If you're newbie (or just want to use phone, not patch it every day), then better 2.2
fritolays's work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989
EphuNord is also good choise for you. They both based on latest official leaked 2.2 and very stable.

Thank u so much

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.

Question about roms and versions

I was just wanting to know, since I'm still on the old Asia WWE 1.28.707.10 if I use one of the newer 1.29.xxx.11 built roms will I benefit from the features of 1.29.xxx.xx upgrade, like I would on an OTA. So basically what I'm asking will it be almost like I did an upgrade to my phone will my storage and other issues be fixed with a newer rom?
Hopefully you will understand what I'm trying to get at, because I tired of waiting on this upgrade.
Thanks for the help!

afaik you cant flash rom for other region.

Sorry for the misunderstanding what I was getting at was if I flash a custom rom will I see the benifits of the software upgrades that I have not received yet. Im ULOCKED AND ROOTED right now. If I was to use say leedroid or revolution would I see the benefits of the 1.29.40x.xx upgrade since the rom is based onn that base. Hopefully that was easier to understand. I want the benifits of the newer software because I'm still on 1.28.707.10 WWE Asia and its outdated I lost 10GB and haven't used that much. So will the custom Roms fix the problems I have now or do I have to wait untill I'm on 1.29.707.xx before I will see the benifits?
