I received a Wildfire S (HTC Mavel) from a friend. It has 2.2.1 installed. Like to replace it with a 2.3.x rom. Couldn't find any available rom nor instructions how to create one for this device.
Question: Has anyone tried the rom meant for Buzz on a Mavel?
There's a wildfire s section in these forums, I can't get you the link as the PC is at the other side of my room, it's early and cold so I'm not getting outta bed......
I haven't seen any posts about a buzz rom working on a wildfire s, maybe you could be the first?
Try clicking on the little home sign near the top of the page if your on a computer, if your on a phone app click forums at the top and scroll down till you see wildfire s section.

Shouldn't it have come with Gingerbread already Installed? I remember it had 2.3 installed before it was launched, since the Barcelona Mobile Phone Congress...
If not, you can OTA update it...

Mine is running 2.2.1 and is pretty messed up. The WiFi does not work either. Which is why I want to try updating it to 2.3 - perhaps with an aftermarket ROM with source that I can play with
Well better try on the Wildfire S forum section.
If I were you I would Factory Reset> OTA Update to Gingerbread and not use any custom RoM.
It is just me...I prefer sense

Eden2812 is right, you should try Gingerninja v.0.1.1, but WiFi is not working yet...
But I wouldn't recommend it, unless you can put up with some parts of your phone being non-functional. Since the source code was only released not too long ago, Gingerbread development is still in its infancy.
HTC announced the wildfire S today which has close specs to the Hero. It has gingerbread sense ui and has a 600 MHz processor and a 3.2 inch screen. So I'd it possible we can port a rom of it to the Hero?
Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Just FYI, 600 MHz on one phone is not the same as 600 MHz on another phone. The CPU in the phone you speak of is at least one generation newer than what we have. Read here for more details
http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/for...msm7225-msm7625-processors-how-good-are-they/
Basically it will probably be very difficult to port. nfinitefx and others tried very hard to get a stable port of the original Wildfire, and that was hard enough.
Possible on Wildfire not s?

Well i don't agree that it can not be ported to our wildfires.the kernel can be modified with the right drivers for our wildfires when i will have time and the sources will be available i will work on it.but the worst part would be the resolution i think.
I think that the best phones for porting Wildfire S ROM-s are Legend and Aria (Gratia) because both phones have more/less the same hardware specifications

i think all devices with android will be unlocked
More likely that devices they update will have the unlocked loader, not old devices..Why would they bother? Too much hard work! No profit from doing it! Much the same as there usual update methods (2 updates is enough for the consumer)

Well what they do is just add wee bootloader code to Android 2.4 and that's it (yes Wildfire S will get 2.4 update for sure)

Maybe you had another device in mind when you posted. ;-)
ROM Capacity
Hi all,
Please , can somebody tell me if he has a more information about Android and especially Widfire S. I just be a proud new member to Android operation system change from Windows mobile . On specification Wildfire S has a 512MB ROM and 512MB RAM. So the question is , why after reinstalling Android OS( Hard Reset ) from this 512MB i had only 124MB free space for installation program.
What should I do to increase ROM free space.
Thank you in advance.
Because that has to include the base ROM and all of the applications that it's running. HTC sense takes up a lot of space.
best to unlock, root and tear out a bunch of that bloat.

I've been trying to get info from HTC about a possible update, at least to 2.3.5 but the guys at tech support are too vague and didn't even reply to bug reports I sent them. I have the latest European RUU and it has some problems with force closes after installing apps from Market, gave the guys all my phone info, yet still they don't know if there are plans to upgrade the phone.
However they promise that they'll let me know as soon as they know something and also say that they want to guarantee the best possible user experience.
I guess ICS 2.4 would be perfect. Now that it's officially released I suggest HTC to Get on their Boots (like U2 would say lol).
The WFS has enough hardware to run ICS so what are they waiting for?
I've had so many phones from HTC and even QTek (former HTC) that I expect some level of commitment on their part.
Sorry for the long post. Needed to uncompress my thoughts... ;-)
ICS is currently Android 4.1 not Android 2.4. But yes WFS can run gingerbread and so can run ICS also.
I'm now the proud owner of a wildfire s with .9gb (yes 900mb) of system memory after install. The new roms are kicking!

maybe trying an antivirus from the market.... but i don´t believe that the problem be a virus
it´s so strange.. because this icons are ""com.htc.resources.apk"" needed only for that the system do a good work.. you are experimenting problems with some aplications? or with the android environment?
few time ago i had this problem but solved it re-flashing my custom rom....
you don´t want to consideer obtain root access in your device and flash another ROM?(or re-flash THE same ROM but rooted)
MAYBE when your phone was actuallized his firmware via OTA something went out badly...

Thanks a lot for your support,
i've not experimenting on android system.
The problem was born with froyo and after the update to 2.3 still remain.
I want to try to root the phone now, and reinstall the official HTC Gingerbread Android 2.3 rom, but i think that after the root the phone come back to the Android 2.2 rom that's the rom was in origin. Is it true? In this case, can I request another time the OTA update to 2.3?

if you root your device only obtains root access... your device not returns automatically to froyo you have to do it manually BEFORE for can use VISIONARY R14 (app for obtain root access)...
but for root your device i recommend to you that read the DHD android development forum"
1- browse how to downgrade your DHD
2-THEN HOW TO ROOT YOUR DHD, do h-off eng-off & cid 1111 (those thinks are in an only one post..
h-off & s-off neccesary for flash radios... etc..
3-browse how to install CLOCKWORKMOD recovery menu from ROM MANAGER.apk
4-finally select your prefered rom (kernel...radio base band...themes... all that you desire ) from dev. forum
If you have doubts about those things post here if you want and I help you mate!

Well if they say, you can't then you probably can't this time. Also in other threads were updates - people are working on it. It will be on the forums, when root is available.
thanks alot
You have to wait either for HTC to release their boot unlocker or someone else who manage to root it. It's a race. Wonder who will faster.

aren't there rooted stock GB roms in development section? maybe you should ask developers how did they do it?

You do read that its not about rooting an ordenary gingerbread device, right?
After HTC released the official upgrade to 2.3.3 alot of eager smartphone users have left their cooked 2.3.x rooted devices stranded on the upgraded 2.3.3.
As did I. Now I am too looking for a solution to get back to the much better 2.3.x rooted version gingerbread that I had before.
I understand threadstarters frustration. Maybe so should you instead of flaming?
Have a nice day...
EDIT: just found the other thread about downgrading to bootloader 0.93. But still think a decent reply to a kind would be nice, eventhough there are other threads about same topic.
Yes and as we all said there are already multiple threads about this exact subject. I understand that the thread starter is frustrated but there are others with the same problem already. Thats why you're meant to search before posting new threads, because there are already threads covering this topic.

This can be done.

You need this tool from revolutionary.io (sorry I cant post links yet)
It was quite easy (after finding a guide on google).
I needed to root so I could updated the radio and have 2 way call recording, it's working perfectly. Well happy

Is a dutch website.
It says something like, here is the list of all devices which will get an ICS update in the beginning of the year 2012.
And dhd is listed, will this mean that we get a proper ics?
And a aosp rom of it?
I don't wanna blame you, but this list is out for some time now.
And yes, it means we will get a proper ICS for DHD. Or at least the right Camera drivers for DHD!!! There are already some nice Builds to use!

Yea i know there are different roms avaible, but their all ports of other devices, and none of them run flawlessly, and it doesnt seem to matter which radio you use.
Therefore i asked if there will be a proper aosp ics rom?
Think it was more like an announcement from HTC that ICS will be coming to these devices in the next few weeks.
So I guess HTC will release "ICS" for HTC Ace around April 1st ^_~ lol
