Hi i need help to downgrade... I'm with CyanogenMod 7.1, android version 2.3.4
and i want to back to android 2.2.1 version, cuz pinch to zoom, and slide pics on gallery..
If someone wanna help me "downgrade".. Thanks and sorry for my english
-------SOLVED-------
Thanks to everyone who helped me
Use a free market app called Quickpic.It will help u.And dont downgrade
i have downgraded to 2.2.1
first donlowad the 2.2 rom you want and should be in zip. and put it in the root of you sd
2- go to rom manger and choose install clockworkmod recovery( thids will install cwm 2.5)
3- from rom manger choose reboot into clockwrokmod
4- when you boot into recovery go to install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card then choose the 2.2 rom file.
it will download then reboot into 2.2 (takes some time)
just after you finish you have to follow this thread to fix some issues in 2.2 roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
If gallery pinch to zoom and sliding is the only issue, then there is a fix for it.
Search the wildfire apps section. There will be a thread titled similar to "Gallery 2d for cm7".

You must do a factory reset before flashing the sense fix, if the instability continues try to flash a different Rom

WhatROM are you using? Rooted stock?
Theme which you "installed" is for OpenDesire and isn't compatible with any other ROM...
So... flash stock ROM or rstore NANDroid backup...

Silly.
If youre on 2.1, then you havent rooted, youre using a rooted stock rom or youre using an old Sense rom.
OD is vanilla/stock android 2.2, and even then, finding an up to date BluFrost theme is tricky.

Find rooted stock ROM - download - copy to sdcard - boot into recovery - flash zip from sdcard - find that ROM - choose - confirm - wait - reboot - enjoy!

The easy way would be to use ROM manager, open rom manager, do "backup of current rom" first to back up this working rom in case you want to revert after flashing a new rom, next go to "download Rom" and choose a new rom to download (there are only currently three roms offered in rom manager CyanogenMod,Virtuous and CyanogenMod Nightlies but I dont recommend Nightlies for noobs could have lots of bugs) it will ask if you want to install it, remember to select wipe data/cache any time you switch roms, and let it install the rom.
Other wise you will have to download a rom install it to the root of your sd card, open ROM manager, select boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, select install zip from sd, select choose zip from sd, choose the rom zip you installed and apply, when done reboot and finish. Remeber in either case do a backup in rom manager first.
Thank you so much, do you happen to know where i can find a sense 2.2 rom??

Thats Virtuous, its what I use, use rom manager and download Virtuous 0.8.1 full rom and install.
Remember to wipe when changing roms, you don't need to wipe when applying updates.

Anytime you install a fresh rom, it starts fresh, you can use the app titanium backup to make a backup of your apps, and info and reinstall them onto diffrent roms. I would suggest to start reading the diffrent threads in this form and start learning how you use your new rooted phone and all the options you now have. Remember there are some roms and radios you dont want to intall on your phone, like the ones made for the desire z. Also might want to check out gfree for your phone. That will give you radio s-off and a true permroot, but you have to use adb to do this. It will also unlock the carrier and carrier id for the phone(so you can use other carrier sim cards). Here is another video on how to set up adb on your computer and the driver needed for your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Remember dont do anything unless your sure you understand the directions. Keep reading and searching, this is what is gonna help you understand diffrent aspects of modifying your phone, another good resource is youtube, look up videos on how to do diffrent things, have fun.
Alright thanks

Alright so long story short, just bought a 2 month old incredible off my buddy because he is a mactard and HAD to have an iphone.
The phone was rooted but I wanted to start from scratch so I formatted the sd card and performed a factory reset (within the phone, not thru recovery). In doing so, I no longer have access to the market - simply says "you don't have this application installed on your phone" when i try to open.
What is my best bet? Can I just flash a new rom and instal it in recovery? Is it possible to unroot at this point?
PS - I haven't set up the phone on the Verizon network yet so could this be the reason I can't access the market?
Any advice is much appreciated!!
sounds like you need to install google apps.
It would help if you said which rom you're on or if you're running stock but it does sound like flashing Google apps could fix your problem. Latest version is 5/3/11.

Pretty sure Google apps only need to be flashed with aosp roms, every sense rom I've flashed had the market and typical Google apps included.

Hi XDA
Could any of you guys provide me with some advice on which rom to chose if I am looking for a fast sense rom. I have tried acesmod and found it to be rather slow on my Desire (maybe I am doing something wrong, but all in all the rom works just very slow).
I have heard great things about insert coin but I can’t figure out which one to install. So if you could throw in a link to the zip it would be great.
Thanks guys!
The links are in each ROM's thread.
And always it is easier to ask other than read which one is for you - but everything is there in each ROM's thread.
I am asking due to the fact that there are several Inser Coin roms and I just wanted to know which one was the fastest. If you don’t like to help me with this than its ok, I am not forcing you to reply.
Besides I am have only tried 2 roms until now and is therefore rather new to this. So any help choosing a fast sense rom and providing a link for this is welcome.
I actually tried the [ROM][28/08][STABLE][Sense2.1+3.0 GB]InsertCoin CM7 HBOOT/STOCK 1.1.2 but couldn’t get it to work. When I tried to install (using alpharev) from sd after full wipe factory reste, cache wipe and dalvik it told me it was unable to install. I am S-Off and on CM7 HBOOT.

When adding the file from your PC to your phone are you doing it with it on or in recovery? Whenever I tried to add a rom to my SD while in recovery it never worked.

rootSU: Cool
I just spend the night downloading the instert coin again, and now it worked!!! And to top this I must say it is a very fast and nice piece of rom!
Don't know what happend with the broken files or anything, but now it seems to work... The only thing i find odd is that the rom is really fast, but I still only have something like 20 mb free on the internal storrage after installing a few apps? On acesmod 007 I had a lot more? Is this something to do with Data++ (what is this)?
data++ is an alternative hboot from alpharev that if you fastoot flash the data++ table, it changes your internal partition layout to be heavily in favour of the /data partition.
okay i want all the experienced people on this forum to help me with this thing and i hope a lot of people would get help with this post

5) i have to backup my existing rom by running a nandroid backup in the backup/restore (it's visible in the recovery mode)
6) once the back up is done i'll have to formate my sdcard and format the cache
7) then i have to select the "flash .zip file from sdcard" and i am done
please tell me if this process is alright or is there anything that i am missing
secondly is there any way through which i can save my apps?

The steps are correct. Except at step 6 you wipe all partions except SD card (called superwipe).
And your appdata will be automatically restored whenever you reinstall a app if you got your phone synced to your Google account.
And you flash the kernel as you flash a Rom but you only wipe dalvik and cache.

Titanium backup works great. It restores all non system apps and data, everything works great except (in my case Viber, it crashes and I have to re activate account after each flash).
I'd also have a question on flashing kernels. I have flashed 5-6 different ROMs but never a kernel (It is possible that these ROMS had other kernels but I'm not sure):
1) do I flash kernel BEFORE or PRIOR to new ROM? (or it doesn't matter)
2) if iI fo superwipe script from android revolution, can I then flash ROM and KERNEL one after another? (no need to wipe dalvik again)

just a small note which is written on the AAHK manual and Thread but to make sure u notice it is that don't downgrade tooooooo much "I.E 2.1"
if u want to downgrade so u can root... u either let the AAHK do the downgrade for u or u do it your self either ways u musn't get lower than 2.3.3 so u wont get in kernal problems "which i once got, and god it was BAD".

They are, just read the thread, there were a few corrections.
Make sure to read the manual called 'effen manual' a few times for the hack kit.
Sent from a dream.
Also, if you have your google account synced to your phone right now, it'll automatically restore contacts when you re-restore your Google account on the new ROM.
Sometimes android market/play store will automatically begin restoring apps by redownloading them (along with data) and some other things. If you prefer titanium, make sure that the play store isn't doing this by going to my apps. If your phone is running really laggy even after a minute or two after you set things up, chances are google play is redownloading all your old apps and chewing up your phone's hardware and data.
