Hi all,
I can't help it, but I just prefer the HTC roms above the custom ones.
For me there are two downfalls in the use of the official HTC GB.
1- the missing of Sense 2.1
2- individual stock apps aren't updated to there latest versions. (gallery, internet etc.)
The whole memory issue I will leave out of this discussion for now.
I will probably try to root my desire with the new tool from Revolutionary any time soon. After that I will try to fix the two issues.
Where can I find, and how do I install the latest versions of the stock apps. Dose anyone keeps a database of some sort of these updates stock apps? Can I install these on the current sense 2.0 or do I have to have 2.1 for this?
I tried to dissect a sense rom, but it's just not working out. I don't know which apk's are what.
Several threads speak of removing certain apps, but I can't seem to find much about updating the apk's.
Tnx a lot!

Hi all.
Today I took some time and rooted my Desire, and installed couple of different versions of ROM. All of them are faulty in a way, modaco doesn't support video recording, with the cyanogenmod I keep getting "no service"...
So now I would like to keep root, but install a generic ROM, regular/official one, with Sense.
Is this possible and can someone tell me where to get a regular/official ROM?
Have you tried MCR r3.1? (not the froyo one) That's very stable.
If you really want stock with root I can cook one up tomorrow.
Is that this one?
hello all. this is my first time ever setting foot in the incredible threads. im currently a roooted eris user, but recently upgrading to the incredible due to eris's limitations. i should be recieving one in the mail today hopefully. i have a few quick questions for you guys and im hoping i can get answers today or at least before i start rooting my phone.
1) can titanium backup restore all my apps + data and configurations, that were backed up on my eris without any issues?
2) which rom is the best so far? i was enjoying cm 6.0 port on my eris but i prefer sense now because im not much of a fan of stock vanilla look.
I do enjoy the 360 degree rotation and was wondering if anyone has created a sense based rom with that particular feature or does cyanogen have a monopoly on that one?
3) does metamorph work on the incredible? and are these roms available now currently themable
4) which is the most preferred kernel? ive read so far about hydra kernel and kingx, what are the advantages each have over the other
5) in case of a necessary warranty exchange attempt, is there an ota based ruu rom available to restore the original bootloader? in other words is it unrootable as of yet? (eris users are currently able to do this.)
Oh and i forgot to ask.
6) is the 2.2 ota released for upgrade or are the 2.2 roms available right now leaks?

1) Most likely not, while just restoring apps should work, apps+data may bring about problems because they are different phones. don't quote me tho. (My advice make a nandroid before you restore apps+data then if you get FC'cs you'll see something went wrong and can go back)
2) The most popular ROM on this forum seems to be Skyraider, it has both a sense and vanilla version. There are 3 more fairly popular ones on ROM manager, I advise you to test them all out they all have their own flair.
3) Yes, check out the theme's section for more info on that.
4) Both kernels work well, it's all a matter of what you're happiest with. I'm not sure of the specific differences of both tho, so maybe someone else can answer that.
5) If you use Unrevoked3 you can RUU back to stock yes. If you use Unrevoked forever (which is S-off) there is currently no way to get S-on. So you would just have to hope if you turned it in for warranty that the guy didnt check the bootloader.
6) Most 2.2 ROM's right now are based off a leak released here on 8/1/2010. There is no official 2.2 release for the Incredible.

Is it possible to get the DeFroST application as part of a complete ROM, or a can i get it on its own to install ? (without installing complete new ROM)
I see some Stock HTC ROMS that have DeFroST included but i want Stock+Sense+DeFroST hboot 0.83 if possible
I have currently :
I have a Rooted Stock ROM-2.2 +Sense-Froyo (without the OTA update) + Radio version: 32.49.00.32U_5.09.00.20
cheers
im pretty sure that it is not possible to have defrost and sense at the same time as they kind of cancel each other out. i could be wrong though.
closest thing you can get is a couple apps here and there that LOOK like sense, and if you buy launcher pro plus it almost is identical to sense, but as far as i know there is no way to actually have both with each other.
DeFroST is a ROM and not an app you can install on an existing ROM
Hi there..yes im a new guy ¬_¬.
So I want to root my wildfire (i know how to do it). The problem is i like HTC Sense and the new version that came for the 2.3 devices, iv'e been looking around for a bit trying to find a Sense rom on 2.3 and have so far failed.
1) Are there any 2.3 Sense ROMs out there for the wildfire?
2) If not are there any themes that mimic Sense for CyanogenMod 7? (I would prefer if the 'people' and 'message' apps looked like sense to because i dont want to open them and find that it look different to sense.) (Also if ii was to do this i presume that i wouldn't be able to keep the HTC widgets so would there be anyway to add them in?)
3)If the above just isn't available id prefer to stay on the stock 2.2.1 sense rom, how could i overclock with it? (i understand it has something to do with replacing a kernel but i don't know how to do this.)
Thank you in advance.
Yes, you are new and you obviously haven't looked properly. -.-
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067868
2) Not possible to get Sense Apps to Non - Sense ROMs like Cyanogenmod
3) Replacing a kernel is the same as installing a ROM. Place kernel Zip on SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard, select kernel Zip, done.
Well i did look and saw that and was a bit too unfinished for me but thanks anyway.
Looks like i'll probably replace the kernel to overclock and see if anything new will come out or possibly move to CM7.
Don't forget to take a nandroid backup before moving to CM7, so you can easily revert if CM's messaging, contacts, camera app etc dont suit you.
I had some trouble with GMail not synching properly anymore (it was only showing mails a couple of days old, but newer the newest ones) and since delete cache/data of the app did not work I removed it.
Bad idea, since I had to discover GMail is not available on the market for DHD/Gingerbread.
I found an apk on my HDD but it seems to be older than what I had before. Does anyone know what GMail version is the latest for Gingerbread?
I also tried extracting it from Virtuous Affinity zip-file, but couldn't find the apk. Is it hidden in some strangely named apk?
How about you just upgrade your phone a little to get a proper app.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using xda premium
Is there a smooth and 100% working ICS + Sense ROM for the DHD? Virtuous is still beta and though it's fast it's not as smooth as Gingerbread (from what I read). The same applies for most other ROMs posted here. Some parts not working, minor performance issues and so on.
So I don't feel like updating just because GMail isn't available from the market.
edit: If anyone ever needs it, I think 2.3.6 is the latest version for GB: Download
Try downloading any stock ROM, and see if you can extract it.
