It's been really a struggle for me to root my wildfire & install Cyanogen Mod 7 nightly. I am really new to this area & don't know much. I just want to now that can i use Desire HD custom rom(apart from cyanogen mod) into wildfire?
Thanx in advance
No. For one, screen resolution is totally different. This is not even going into other details like difference in other internal hardware like CPU, GPU, Size of NAND ROM etc etc.
A rom has to be made for the phone, maybe you can find the same type in this section, look in the dev section, and se the post all to know about wildfire

Hi

. Every ROM is different. I do not know what you are looking for.
Are you looking for nice graphics and speed?
I would choose the Core ROM (my favorite)
Speedy & stock like:
HD evolution
Extra or different apps:
Leedroid.
But these questions aren't liked here much, because most of the time it ends up debating what ROM is better. But the case is: no Rom is the best. They are all different. You should just try some ROMS.
Be sure to read a lot about rooting and flashing . (although, you said you have done that).
The first thing should always be do you want a sense rom or not...until you decide that then its pointless listing roms.
lately i have seen the following phrases "gingerbread and dhd" as i'm using leedroid 2.3b i feel i'm missing out on something great but i just don't know what those mean when attached to a rom. so if some kind person could clear these up for me i would be gratful.thanks.......................sudeki300
Gingerbread means it's a Gingerbread rom.
DHD means it's a rom with the 'new' sense but Froyo.
Try both out and see if you like it, just make sure you read the first (two) post carefully, should have all the info you need.
Also Nandroid before changing!
Ginger bread is nxt upcoming android version.. its android 2. 3.. currently 2. 3(gingerbread)is only available for nexus s... but our great mods are workin hard to port it to desire.. gingerbread is ported to desire to great extent by our mods.. refining of the version is goin on.. thnx to the modders..
Dhd is htc 'desire hd phone'(nxt version of htc desire).. u can install rom of desire hd... but first read all the pros n cons of installing hd rom on ur desire in the development section... hope this clears ur doubts.

thanks for the replies and clearing those questions up for me. looks like i might give both of those roms a go, just make sure i make a backup of my current one first......................sudeki300
Hi,
i just got a Desire ,and im gonna root it put on a new rom...but i see in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809328 ,that there are a whole lot of roms and was wondering what is the diff between them? I mean to go through all the faq of those roms would take all day,so plz help ? so basically im looking for a ROM suggestion (and an explanation for it)
There are few differences between each other in each section. Things like some have A2SD, some have DATA2SD and so on. Some are faster, some are smoother. To be honest, if you know what you want then just try each rom from that section. A rom is a personal preference. If you go for Non-Sense/Gingerbread, try Oxygen or CyanogenMod. Sense roms, I see a lot of people going for LeeDroid. Sense HD, I tried Cool-z. Try them out.
ohhh my godddddddddd.. another one eh.. and now not only you are asking for our opinion to base yours upon, but also telling us that you'd rather waste our time to save yours.. by the way, there is a forum search button, do lean to use it. Much apprechiated.
Feel free to troll away
Ive just got a HTC Desire GSM (from HTC Magic) and tried a number of Desire ROMS, incl Gingerbread, CM nightly, Oxygen, DHD ROMS. I was never a big HTC SENSE Fan, but I loaded this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818392 and so far stuck with it. I generally change ROMS ever 2 - 3 days, but this one has stuck. Its not lighting quick, but fully featured and very polished.
disclaimer - Its my opinion only and as other will tell you, flashing ROM is a personal choice. - cheers P
Tnx jelly and pp think ill try a rom per catagery
Hi folks,
I have an htc desire HD(rooted, s-off al that shyte)
and i was wondering if there was a gingerbread ROM without htc sense available for the DHD.
thanks in advance.
Cyanogenmod of course
thanks,
lolzz i didnt know that cyanogenmod was just a pure android ROM
thanks.
But I have another question; why is cyanogen mod olny 80 mb while the stock ROM of the desire HD (and others) is way bigger (230+ mb)
i heard that the way they built cm rom is different to how they deal with ruu roms...
maybe they're quitely different in kernels, i guess

ROMs that are Sense-based like stock and others are generally "heavier" and hence the bigger file size.
CM7 is based on what u termed earlier as 'pure Android'. Without Sense. Hence, it's "lighter".

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.
