Okay so i bough HTC wildfire 2 hours ago
and i wanna to update it...
so there isn't any offical android 2.3.4 updates
and i founded things called ROM i think that update it
Can you tell me which is the best and most stable and the one that has most features
as far as i saw its this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015532
but i got some questions
do it have speed dial?
do it slow down the phone?
do it add extra features?
and please give me a easy noob friendly guide to do it
since this is my first android phone
and i was a samsung user
So you know
give me good newbie friendly easy guide to update or use this thing
(sorry for bad english)
the rom which you have seen is CYANOGEN MOD it is of the latest android version 2.3.5 it dose'nt have speed dial , smart dial but you can download other dialers from market .
cyanogen mod is the fastest rom available till date , it is highly tweaked , most customizable , & it is stable too
if you want to install a rom then you have to ROOT YOUR WILDFIRE first , follow this thread where rooting & other instructions are provided http://bit.ly/eQuR3M
all the best
EDIT : first check your HBOOT
1.switch off your phone
2.keep pressing down volume button & then press power button
3.now u can see your hboot version
4.to exit select fastboot(use power key) then select reboot(use volume down key )then press power button

Hello everybody ! I'm using HCT HD and Original ROM.Can I install new version of TouchFlO 3D?If can could you provide me a cab file for me?I try to download it for my phone but I when I install it it show nothing.
Thanks advance
you will have to flash a custom ROM, you can't just install a new version
you can read all about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
its not something to do lightly, but take your time, and learn what to do, and you should be ok
Flashing is easy take out sim and ur memory card put the flash file u want onto an 2Gb memory card name it BLACIMG.nbh, turn fone off reboot into bootloader, hold volume down and press power button and will ask u to press power button to flash ur fone. DONE!! EASY!!!
MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU DO THIS DO HSPL UR FONE WITH OLINX 1.56.
you cannot simply install touch flow 3d becuase a lot of the files used by it are in the ROM. this means that you cannot overwrite them without flashing a whole new ROM image, hence why you need to flash a new ROM to get an updated version of touch flow. Youll notice how it is often referred to as "manilla". this is simply its codename - they mean the same thing. Good luck
Yes thanks for all of your replies.Maybe I have to find custom rom for my phone.Could you give me some suggestions which rom is run smooth and fast for my HD?

Everyone will have different opinions on this one. There are many good chefs here and on other sites. My suggestion as always is to read up about the different roms. Read the threads which will give you a sense of whether there are any significant issues with the rom which will be a problem for you. Once you have decided which rom you want to try, follow the step by step guide (link in my signature) and flash. You can then try a few different ones yourself and decide which one best suits your need. People are going to give you their opinions which may or may not be what you are looking for.
This thread will now most likely be closed down as it calls for an opinion and could lead to huge debates about the relative merits of each rom. Only you can decide what suits your needs.
Yes thanks for your ur seggestions.

Just do what i did and flash all of the popular ROMs and then choose which one you liked best. Alternatively, on the ROM developement forum, theres a benchmark thread (its a sticky, so itll be near the top). There you can see the best performing ROMs and may want to choose one of the best, if speed is a priority.
Hey guys.

I have a few questions about it at the moment though.
A. How do I download APPs from my PC then install them tot he phone?
B. when in an application on the phone - how do I quite it or switch to a different one easily?
C. The phone has 2.1 android on it. I would like to root it and update to 2.2. I have downloaded a custom rom - but where do I go from there?
I appreciate all the help
Thanks guys!
P.S I am in South Africa if that helps?

A. with android, use market or apps brain to download and install apps. dun need to use PC anymore.
B. press and hold home button to switch apps. Press home once will show ur homescreen.
C. Read the articles on Desire Android Development in this forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628

Hi,
Form some month, I was usingthis rom on my htc touch pro2: RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_FRA_2.07.406.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship
Thanks to this web xda helping me to install this rom instead of the one comming with my orange (french mobil phone operator).
Then, due to personnal reason I had to re-install an old rom from my operator:
_HTC Touch Pro2_WM6.5_RUU_Rhodium_S_Orange_FR-B2B_1.90.73.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship
Untill this point, I did not get any trouble.
But this morning i tryed to install the Energy Rom:
|RHODCMDA|.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.- Energy -.¸¸.·´¯ * |Sep 29| 21916|21680 * Sense 2018
(forum.ppcgeeks.com/cdma-tp2-upgrades/86489-rhodcmda-energy-sep-29-21916-21680-sense-2018-a.html)
At the first reboot, my phone freezed at the screen showing the release installed:
B 80
R 4.49.25.17
P 61.44tc.25.32u
D Energy
As my phone is not detected any more by my computer, I can't do anything.
I'm looking if there is someting usefull in the xda-tools.
I found a thread name "unlock, flash and even relock your TP via the SD card!", i will investigate on it.
To help me, don't you have any ideas that can help me?
Is there any hope ?
Thx
Akaiah.
PS.
relocate my post if he is not at the right place.
Just hold voldown key while resetting your phone and flash new ROM, preferably the stock one .
Yep, upgrade from sd-card worked perfectly.
As a reminder:
- choose the rom you want to install.
- extract the .nbh file from the rom.
- rename this file into "RHODIMG.NBH" and place it at root on your sd-card.
- Soft-reset your htc TP2 while pressing "power" and "VolDown".
You will get the nice red/green/blue screen (keep pressing) then, a grey screen asking you if you wanna install RHODIMG.nbh.
- release both buttons and press "power", to install
- or press "volDown" to cancel .
Every thing is right now.
Thanks
Akaiah.
PS.
Any idea why Energy rom did not work for me ?

I believe Orange France is a GSM network and you tried to install a CDMA ROM. Go here for the GSM version of the Energy ROM.
Good luck.
So,
First, sorry...
I stressed for nothing and opened this thread without realy reading the forums and searching for answer to my problem.
All the answers are on the forum, I should have done a more research before posting.
About CDMA/GSM: my tp2 is a RHOD100 -> GSM (according to different thread).
I will try the gms version of Energy.
Thanks.
Akaiah.

I think you'll enjoy it. I use the 21680 CHT and am quite pleased with it.
The thread I linked to in my last post is full of great info. Please read the first several pages, as they have the answers to 90% of the questions that come up. If not, a search will usually turn up a solution. And, lastly, there are many great members to help if needed.

Hello all,
i joined this forum to help me decide which mobile to buy and i bought in the end the awesome Desire.
I am from Egypt so i bought it from there , it was released here on second of October.
it has built-in Arabic support in text input window, it doesn't show in the normal keyboard input screen but to activate Arabic language i need to do the following which i got in a reply from htc support here in Egypt
Hold & long press at any empty space of text input box, you will see a message to change input keyboard.
Select the other input method & press ok.
You will see the Arabic keyboard.

i want to help in making Android more popular, in the middle east, and since Google refuse to release official support for Arabic, i guess the only way i can do that by offering my mobile to you to see if we can extract the Arabic support plugin/software and be able to install it on any android based mobile.
i used to be a power user in Symbian but now i am a newbie in android so anyone interested in helping me ?
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Regards,
Ahmad
Salam Ahmad,
Sorry to bust your bubble bro....
But I have already rooted that ROM (leaked) and added A2SD+ 2 months ago
check it out
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=238900
Froyo with Arabic support would be a great plus!
Nice job
But what i want is to be able to extract the Arabic addon and be able to add it to any other ROM
like for example i want very much to instal the Desire HD Rom on my Desire but i will be missing the arabic support
So i am looking for help to extract the arabic support addon and be able to install it freely
is this even possible ?
Hi
Maybe you should be in contact with this guy (Ayman): http://ardoid.com/?p=41
He added Arabic support to Froyo (but of course with some bugs), maybe you could help.
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Sorry, can't help you with the keyboard, but am very happy to hear that we will finally be getting Froyo - in November???
HTC would not give me a date when I asked!
Salaam.
Guys i found the arabic support intalled inside the Application Manager ad it is named "Arabic Keyboard" and it is version 2
is it possible by any mean to extract the apllication to be able to install it on any other HTC or even Android mobile ??
Look for the .apk under system/app/ and data/app/, it will be there. Then pull it using adb when you're in Recovery. I can try and push that apk on mine and see if it works.
Arabic support should entail more than that though but a keyboard that even just writes would be very helpful to me too.
-----------------------------------

sorry but i am still a newbie regadring android
Can you please tell me what is adb and how to enter recovery ???
Hi,
You can get the .apk file with easy way. Install Androzip from the market, open it, it will show directly the files on SD card. Press the arrow up in the menu to leave SD card and navigate to system files. Open system folder : System -->> app -->> here you have all .apk files
Hold & long press on the .apk file you want, -->> copy, you can see now 2 new options in the menu, cancel and copy here.
Go now to home in the menu and you can paste it in ur sd card -->> copy here.
thats all you have the .apk file on your SD card.
good luck.
Unfortunately i can't find it in this folder
i found HTC_IME which i understand is the interface for the touch keyboard made by htc, can this be the one we need ??? its size is 4.2 MB
using "Android System Info" i found the name of the Arabic Keyboard software.
com.parfield.inputmethod.arabic
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but still can't find it inside /system/app
any suggestions ?
Like mentioned, look in system/app/ and data/app/. The name might be different.

Hi,
I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.
I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS..
So, I hope you'll find this helpful..
Follow the next steps:
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader
(Thanks to theq86 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)
2. Second install this stock ROM
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB
It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.
The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.
(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)
3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)
And the Hebrew pack for it Here.
That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!
Some more goodies:
1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.
(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)
2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.

That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!
One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..
Cheers!
Maoz.
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.
anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.
btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.
I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
good luck.
if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic81886.html
I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.
