Will this phone ever get rom manager support? I loved it on my nexus but, we don't have it yet. I heard koush got the eptouch but, do you think we will get it?

Hey guys!
Been playing with Gingerbread roms on the Desire ever since I got my Desire HD.In the DHD forums I saw that for Gingerbread roms it's better that we have CWM 3.However,in rom manager I only get support for up to 2.5.1.4.What does that mean?Don't we have CWM 3 for the Desire yet,or am I looking in the wrong place?
Both. CWM 3 isn't officially released for Desire yet, just mods but nontheless, you can pick it up here. Plus Rom Manager is useless, get rid of it. Use the recovery instead.

That version doesn't backup the /sd-ext.
Use this version fixed by Kali- if you want the 3.x..Anyway the latest officially and fully working for our Desire is the 2.5.0.7

Well,do I seem like a guy who cares about official,non-modded stuff?If so,then I'm showing something wrong and have to change my attitude!
Seriously though,I prefer non-official,they always worked better for me!
As for rom manager,it was the first time that I thought about using it and it discouraged me from doing it ever again.Koush's work is great with CWM,but rom manager feels too noobie!

Firstly,thank you for providing me with the links(both of you actually).
Secondly,until now I had version 2.5.1.8 installed,which was flashed while I s-offed with AlphaRev stuff.Officially and fully working...as I said above,who cares?
Anyway,thanks guys!
Hello,
This is the best ICS rom i've used in my T989, but Kies don't recognize the cellphone... Is there a way to fix that?

Thanks.

Hello all, I hope I won't get too much flak for creating this thread but I'm hoping to save some time and effort if some of you are willing to help me out here.
My buddy had asked me recently if I could help him use his phone as a hotspot when he goes on vacation, and I suggested that he install a custom rom to get that function since for some reason a Sprint rep told him he couldn't do it (not sure on the whole story with that...).
Anyway, I'm not really a newbie on rooting/flashing as I have an older Galaxy S1 device that I constantly work on, but on the other hand that's about the only device I have experience with.
My questions are:
1) Is rooting/installing a custom rom the best way for him to use his phone as a hotspot? It seems to be built into every rom that I've had on my device.
2) What are the most popular (and stable) roms available for this device? I'm asking because I won't see him enough to flash updates and he's not really the type to do that.
3) Are there any serious risks to rooting/flashing this device? I'm spoiled with my older Galaxy S1 phone that has no problem going from rom to rom like it was it's job. He'll probably be upgrading soon, but I still don't want to break it.
Thanks for any input. Oh and I don't know if this matters, but I'm almost positive he's on stock ICS right now.
1. The hotspot app won't work on stock because he needs the plan with sprint to use it. There are 3rd party apps out there that can use your phone as a hotspot. Most roms have the wifi hotspot check disabled so you can use the app the rom came with. Be warned if sprint catches you tethering too much data they could cut you off.
2. Maybe look into the blu kuban rom. It's very stable, awesome battery life, and looks awesome. It also has a built in updater in case there is an update.
3. If you read the instructions you should be fine. There's really no downside besides the emmc brick bug which can render your phone useless but most (if not all) kernels have this patched. Also remember that this phone has the recovery image packed with the kernel.
Hope this helps.

If you install stock/rooted gb27 jb you can use the EmperorX 4g hot spot mod.
Look up Emperor X in apps and themes, its not too complex to get working.

Use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38199950
It works very well.

The blu kuban rom looks good, but I didn't see any JB roms that looked all that great (feel free to correct me) and I see that Cyanogenmod doesn't officially support this device for some reason. Are there any mostly stable 4.1 or 4.2 roms that you would recommend or is ICS the way to go?
edit: I wasn't looking in the 'original development' forum and just noticed there's a lot of good 4.2 roms that I'm used to like slim, AOKP, etc, now my question is if I wanted to flash a new rom is it the same as I do on my phone- wipe data/cache/davlik then flash rom/gapps and reboot? Is it that simple on this phone too?

If you have CWM 5 (gb or cm9) or CWM 6 (AOSP-based jellybean) you can just flash rom and gapps in recovery
If you do not have CWM 5 or 6 (anything touchwiz ICS+), you should use Mobile Odin or (less conveniently) PC Odin to flash the EL26+cwm kernel, then boot to recovery by holding vol+ and power. You can flash anything in EL26 recovery without incident
I need Help to get CM10.1.3 on my Galaxy S3 from Boost Mobile. I'm not a really big fan of the UI Samsung Has (Touch Wiz). I prefer stock. CM is closest to stock and is the best ROM for my Previous Devices. But I want to flash it on my Boost Mobile Galaxy S3 ._.
I've tried everything but all I get is error spdp2 (something like that) error.
I downloaded the Sprint CM since some people Imported them to there Galaxy's S3 on Virgin Mobile. But I want someone to tell me how to.
Thanks very much.
