When will there be CDMA Desire Roms?

I just rooted my cdma desire and would like to know if anyone will be wokring on a rom for my phone

How did you do that? Unrevoked 3.2 Isn't out yet is it

Look at their twitter. They tell you how to get a test version.

thats for the heads up. rooted now also.. need a 2.2 now. lol

im wondering how similar the desire is to the incredible or the evo.. i wonder if it could run some of their roms?

the inc is very similar. and would prob work. if it has slcd support. i dunno though. risky. although one should be able to restore a backup

Now someone just has to get the courage up to do it.

Just to let you know
I've rooted my cdma desire and I've tried flashing a couple gsm roms. None of which would boot. If you try flashing any roms on your own make 100% sure you have a backup made because you will end up with a semi-brick and I'm sure nobody here wants to hear you whine about what's a recovery menu.

I've been thinking about making a ROM but I have zero experience. I'm doing a lot of reading but if there are any developers who want to work on a rom, that would be awesome.

i made one with some tweaks that works also i am working on porting a froyo version

they are almost identical but for some reason the wifi and bluethooth would not work on a inc rom that i ported even though they are the same chip

I recently got my desire CDMA rooted also, but i used to hangout over in the G1 forum so i kinda know my way around android & root. let me know if i can help with anything. my twitters @BuddhaTeh1337

You can find some CDMA roms here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10469759&postcount=2. Happy flashing !

[Q] What ROM to suit me?

I started with a Hero, now an EVO...but my roommate has an Epic 4g on Sprint.
I've been doing some reading on available ROM's, but I need suggestions.
I'm wondering what the preferred ROM is for most people right now?
I'd like to work on it having good battery life, have all functions work (4g, FFC, all that) and I'd like it to be quick.
What should I load her up with?

Really its trial and error plus preference... Atleast I think so today I flashed like 7 roms lol... Then had to do stuff... but just rot the device and load them on the sd card.. make sure your getting the right ones for either rfs or ext4 depending what your on... otherwse it won't load and you'll think your screwed (learned earlier today.... thanks for the elp digi) lol

Trial and error has never been much more than a small part in doing ROM's across these phones. I've been able to find a good ROM for my EVO after trying only two thanks to reading the forum and following recommendations of others who've already done it.
I'm sure there are many people here who have plenty of experience with ROM's on the Epic, I'm simply looking for experienced recommendations.

Dk28 stock
I get great battery an everything works, but there are little kinks here and there
I just flashed meat rom since its the only one that supports rfs anymore

Considering Device || General Questions

Hey guys,
I currently have a beautiful Nexus One (As seen in my sig ) and I was considering buying the T-Mo SGSii. I would have to buy it off ebay or similar because I'm on a pre-existing contract family plan. I have some concerns about the device, mostly compared to my N1. Please don't scream and shout if something I discuss has been said before or completely obvious to you guys.
1) How is the dev./hacking community on this device? Is there a lot of ROMs / kernels available for flashing? Do you guys have MIUI / CM7 / CM9 or ICS. Is there a nice amount of custom ROMs?
2) Does this device have ICS stock / by default? I know it shipped with gingerbread but did ICS ever get officially released. I guess not due to Samsung's **** stock ROM. OR is there a good port/build of ICS as a custom ROM?
3) Does this device have an LED camera light that can be manipulated to be used as a flash light
4) Is this device easy / not completely impossible to root? Coming from HTC, it was really easy to unlock the N1's bootloader and load up some custom ROMs.
5) Are there any build quality issues that I should be aware of? IE: power button stops working after time or any faulty design issue.
6) If purchased off of a site like ebay, in order to get the device to work all I would need to do is insert my SIM card and boot? I already have an Android data plan obviously as my N1 works fine on T-Mo.
7) Is there any support for SD Card? Or if or if not, is there any issues with apps that save data to the SD card, such as GTAIII or The Sims?
Thanks very much for the help. I would greatly appreciate if anyone could answer at least one of my questions. Love my N1 but am seriously considering getting this device soon.

Hey I'm not being mean or anything, but you can literally look in the dev section to answer some of your questions, and you can use Google to answer the other questions. I mean I can answer all your questions in the am, but if you wanted an answer sooner, then check those two sources.

1) How is the dev./hacking community on this device? Is there a lot of ROMs / kernels available for flashing? Do you guys have MIUI / CM7 / CM9 or ICS. Is there a nice amount of custom ROMs?
It's decent, but not the best. It's separated from the rest of the GS2 community by its qualcomm processor, so while CMod is working on a rom for the international version of the phone, the T989 is left to wait its turn in the meantime. It does share architecture with the AT&T Skyrocket though, so that expands the dev pool some.
2) Does this device have ICS stock / by default? I know it shipped with gingerbread but did ICS ever get officially released. I guess not due to Samsung's **** stock ROM. ||OR|| is there a good port/build of ICS as a custom ROM?
There is no ICS for the T989 yet. A few people are working on it but there's nothing beyond previews yet. Samsung promised an update next month(maybe starting March 1st) but it's unclear if that includes the T989 at first. In any case, once that drops the ICS stock roms will start to arrive.
3) Does this device have an LED camera light that can be manipulated to be used as a flash light
Yes.
4) Is this device easy / not completely impossible to root? Coming from HTC, it was really easy to unlock the N1's bootloader and load up some custom ROMs.
It's very very easy to root and start flashing.
5) Are there any build quality issues that I should be aware of? IE: power button stops working after time or any faulty design issue.
Nothing that serious. I came from the N1 too. That was a seriously flawed phone. I thought it couldn't get worse after my power button broke, but then the touchscreen started randomly wigging out. There's nothing like that on the GS2, but some people have received units with flawed screens that in low-light environments suffer from blobs and lines. There's a thread about it you can check out.
6) If purchased off of a site like ebay, in order to get the device to work all I would need to do is insert my SIM card and boot? I already have an Android data plan obviously as my N1 works fine on T-Mo.
The GS2 requires a new kind of sim card that supports WiFi calling apparently. My old card didn't work with it so I had to have T-Mobile transfer my data to one of the new ones.
7) Is there any support for SD Card? Or if or if not, is there any issues with apps that save data to the SD card, such as GTAIII or The Sims?
It supports cards up to 32GB. Playing GTA with a touchscreen is an awful experience though...

@rosemachinegun
Thanks. Seems that this device is not as common as the other SGSii devices? Sorry that part is just a bit confusing to me. It is also weird because the N1 does not have ICS but we have great ports that run real well.
One final question, is the SIM transfer free at T-Mo stores?

Be careful about buying them off ebay, or where ever because T-Mobile has been known to blacklist IMEI's that have been reported 'stolen'. You might be bidding on one of these phones even if it is unopened, etc.
Find someone that has a high rep and I think you'll be better off on getting something that hasn't been blacklisted.

First of all ask the seller for IMEI and check it in the database http://www.checkmend.com/us/trade_checking if it is reported stolen or blacklisted. If the seller is legit it will send it to you if not it will disappear.
The phone has microSD and working USB OTG. It mounts storage as usbStorage.
Root is easy and needed to remove bloatware of your choosing, CarrierIQ software and set firewall. It will make your battery life very good.
Satellite navigation works very well also. It can utilize Glonass satellites in addition to the US GPS.

3) yes, yes
4) yes, super easy
5) none that i'm aware of, this phone can take quite a beating and still works fine
6) eBay or any 2nd hand device could be dangerous, watch out for blacklisted IMEI
7) yes, the best

[Q] Anyone feel like helping a beginner?

I am painfully new to the community, so if you're frustrated easily this might be a bad thread to read.
Not too long ago, I picked up a desire (bravo) on kijiji (a buy/sell site, not really important). It had a much lower price than other comparable phones, and I would imagine it was because it is locked to Rogers and came with CM7 on it. At the time, I still had time on my old contract. Thinking I was up for the challenge of new technology i went for it. Being the curious guy I am I tinkered with it and found an abundance of Roms floating around on the internet, so wanting to know what was going on with this (understand that I knew nothing about the matter), I flashed AOKP 6. Honestly it is a very clean Rom, and up untill this morning I thought it was great. My contract ran out yesterday, so I activated my desire last night. It will not connect to the Rogers network. It is locked to Rogers and has a Rogers sim, so I'm not sure why it's doing this . I believe it did before I flashed AOKP6.
Any suggestions on how to get it to connect?
I need someone to hold my hand through the process of either flashing a new stable rom or fixing my current one.
Any help appreciated.
-Salt
Ps. If my spelling is off, it's because Chrome broke.

Since you already installed AOKP6 before, I assume you're rooted and have a recovery installed.
Download a stable GB ROM like this and put it on your SD card and flash it from your Recovery. Thats it.
Read the OP of the ROM carefully to see if you meet all the criteria mentioned. Dont forget to do a clean wipe before the install.

Thanks for the reply. I went back to cm7 and tried a few others and came to the conclusion it was Rogers' fault. Now running Paranoid android jelly bean and everything is going well.

[Q] old man old phone old roms? help Please!

ok Hi everyone!
no i do not have ADO (Attention deficit order) or any other brain dissorder! just old slow and feeble!
i got the HTC EVO 4G my two year contract with the sprint WOGS is up about two months ago my phone died and best buy got me a brand new one!
then i see that new samsung galaxy note 2 and ooooowww
So my old brain kicks in and says mod your evo
ok at this point
so i rooted mt evo 4g with HTCDEV and revolutionary some how i ended up installing revolutionary but the phone still works
but yes i did not do a backup of the original system on the phone!!
well i am now thinking since i am rooted and s-off abot a custom ROM??
ok this is were the old man comes in
i only wish do do this once and most of you all here it seems do this every day as a type of hobby
what i would like to find in a custom ROM is everthing to work as the phone works now but hopefully even better
and to get rid of all this BS poopwear sprint has loaded into this phone
a ROM that looks great and new and as stable as stock?? with maybe some new apps to play with
So the Question is? Is there a ROM out here filled with the above???
Question 2
when you root a phone and s-off then do a custom rom, does sprint know what you have done or can they find out
and if so can they mess with you or bug you??
no i do not see men in black everywere!
just have seen post about watermarks and sprint knows! just was hoping to get the truth here!

I will start with your second question. The only way Sprint will know is if you have to take it on for service. So no worries there.
As far as a ROM goes there are many solid, stable, fully working roms. You will be limited to the older gingerbread roms. All the newer ones lack drivers for front camera and Wimax (4g). Now to find what you want will take searching on your part. There are a few different versions of sense which is HTC's launcher and then you have AOSP which looks completely different. When I get on a computer I will give you some links to check out.

Since you have been using the EVO for a few years and are used the the Sense UI I would recommed
starting out with The Classic. A very solid ROM by tommytomatoe. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312414

So many out there, all great, most of devs remove all the crap when we buid the roms guess it comes down to what you like.
You like stock, or themes,
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2

The first two you listed will work 100% but the last one is a jelly bean ROM that has no front camera or 4G. Plus other minor issues. The classic would be like your stock ROM only way better.

Sorry if i sound like a dumb ass
i have gone to alot of web sites trying to dig all the info in can from the words i can make sence from!
i am not here to beat no one up or down!! i had asked help from one site when i went to root my phone
and was kind of kick for being a noob and asking a question the guy thought everyone should have known!
that is why i am here! i am sure you all have looked at other web sites about all this rooting around and roms.
what you all do in customizing the cell phones is ??? really i do not have a better word GREAT!! (each generation has there own words and phrases,and sometimes we have to teach the old people like are parents the new stuff that has come out)
i would say this i am like all of you! but way older i think and definitely not any way near as smart as you all are here
as to stock or theme? i take it theme is the way the new rom will look??
i will say this as the way for the last 2 years looking at my phone well im borrrred with it
if it had a big pair of breast attached to it well i would not be here "SORRY LADIES!!!"
so yes new looking and way better to play with! STOCK ? no i had that
stable is my concerne with a new rom as once i do the flash (flahing the rom) to the phone i do not want to have to worry about this software to fix this bug or that bug then digging up this file to get this or that to work!
does this make any sence to you all??
ok an old man would think (sorry if im wrong here!!) if one was to install a new rom on ????phone all that would be needed
would be one file! do the vol. and power button go to revolutionary install zip file from sd card wait and poof your done!!
ya ya what joint is that old fart smoking!!!
AGAIN THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP HERE

Classic.
Maybe Synergy if you don't care about CIQ.
I ran AlterROM for awhile: it might be in your comfort zone and it provides a ton of installation options if you want to explore a little.
But really just start with Classic. The "updater" app included with Classic may need some kind of fix , read the last few pages of that thread to get current.
Have fun!

thought maybe i got a bad download from this crappy satellite hughes.net system we are on
so i redownloaded it again and wee hee it all works!!!
just wished the bottom screen buttons had some kind of lay out like the evo 4g did
phone, apps, etc.
i will run this and see what happens i hope no bugs pop up
ya and you are right there is alot of do-hickies added to this!
i just hope i do not mess something up now
if he had put in the butttons for the phone, apps, etc
from my stand point this rom would be the greatist
but it is my first rom i have flashed so who knows maybe there is one that is better out there!!!
I would like too THANK YOU ALL!!! Very much for your GREAT WORK HERE!! and your help with me on this venture!!!
THANKS ALLOT!!

Haha actually I agree with you, I was never a fan of what Tommy called the "Ghost Rosie". Ironically it's one of the things that really distinguishes the ROM and it took a lot of work for him to make it do that.
Anyway I'm pretty sure you can "turn off" that feature and bring back a always-visible phone button, either by a tweak (changing a setting that Tommy provided in some control panel somewhere) or via a mod (some flashable zip that modifies that Rosie).
Or you can always download a custom launcher from the market.

The jelly bean roms are not filled with bloat ware, they come with the apps needed for a root user to do the right things. Plus they are pretty stable at this point, just minor things that don't work, except it would be nice if we could get 4G Wimax back on the latest roms. Front facing camera just needs a driver as well as Wimax, but I do not miss those things as I am connected to wifi mostly.
