[Q] Your favorite ROM: Sense or CM7? - HTC Wildfire S

Hey guys
I'm really interested in what kind of rom you like the most. Just answer the poll.
Currently, I'm running CM7 with MIUI theme, and I love it!
Camera is a bit worse, but download camera360 from market! It's free and has tons of options! Looks almost the same as sense camera.
If I could choose, I would run MIUI, but that's not an option for WFS.

- SENSEMOD is buggued like hell
- I cannot import SIM contacts into Cyanogen, unable to launch apps...
- JikantaruROM XE no french language
- Unable to install apps in Salsa
- JikantaruROM v1.1 Euro version working fine
- Android 2.3.5 HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2 [Rooted][Apps2sd] - Fast Stable is working with some bugs.
Did I miss something? I really want to find something stable to make my phone faster

Yes, but most of them are outdated, so don't care.
But about your issues with the given roms, i'm really wondering what problems you got and i would really like to know why.
Have you ever given a logcat to the developers of the roms about your issues?
Cause the unable to launch apps at cyanogen is pretty strange for me, did you try to tell it at the cyanogen troubleshooting thread?
Also unable to install apps is strange, i had both roms at my gfs phone and both worked like they should (cyanogen did even much more, that's cause it's the current rom she uses^^).

I had an issue with wifi on CM7x and Alquez troubleshooted it, provided a solution and I've been using the 7.2 nightly from the 18th since then and love it.
It is fast. No issues with running or installing apps either.
I would agree. If you don't try and address the issues in the troubleshooting thread can't expect solutions to your problems to magically appear.

can v use miui theme .mtz in cm 7.2????i realy like the i phone theme.....or v shoud hv miui rom ????

I am just a beginner in all that stuff and I reported the contacts bug for Cyanogen.
Did you find a fix? I needed to exports contacts to my SD card and reimport them.I don't know how to provide you the logcat... I used CM7 from the 18 dec.
On salsa, the phone rebooted each time I installed an application.
Anyway I wanna use an updated ROM and Cyanogen seems to be the only one for GSM

No fix, but at mine (the desire s build), when i push the menu button while i'm in contacts, I get 4 options, import from sim, import from sd, export to sd and share visible contacts. Have you tried this?
About logcat, look at the index thread, at the general guides section is a guide to set up adb on your pc, after you made this, enable usb debbuging at your device, connect it to pc with usb, prepare your device that it is short before the error occurs, type
Code:
adb devices
adb logcat
at the pc into the command line, reproduce the issue and hit control+c at the pc. Afterwards copy the output of the logcat to a textfile.
Or you can make the same as i described above, but just execute except of adb logcat
Code:
adb logcat > logcat.txt
with this the logcat output is redirected to the textfile (you can name it however you want, but i think logcat.txt makes the most sense at this case^^) and you don't need to copy it.

When I chose import from SIM card, the phone replies that I have no contacts in my sim card (which is false of course). I already tried that.
I'll report errors later, I don't have much time now but thank you for the informations.
One more question. Is Cyanogen the only updated rom? I already checked the ROM list but I didn't find any other working for GSM

Flash back to original rom then go to contacts and export to Google account or go to settings - accounts and sync, then click on your Google account and tick the sync contacts.
Once done flash cm7 then repeat the steps in contacts click import and choose from Google account.
Just like magic all your friends and families numbers will appear.
Good luck.

I saved them on my SD card, that is working too

CM7
I have just recently S-OFFed my WFS with the XTC clip and have been using CM7 for a few days now... its great!!

CM7 with ICS theme is great, battery life is much better than the others

CM7 vs Sense
I have latest nightly build of CM7.... there's no comparison!
Tried all the various Sense ROMs i.e. Jakantarus, they're very nice but EAT batteries for breakfast.
CM7 with data2sd/ext2 partition is best, battery life is amazing. So far haven't found any problems, its pretty fast and has plenty of settings to play with. CM7 music player is all you need and has it's own Graphic Equaliser with speaker and Headphone profiles. CM7 camera is ok, with more functions than sense camera. Get TuneIn radio app for all your radio needs.
Looking forward to CM9!

I'm running CM7 and I like it in any aspect but I would like to try a MIUI theme. Here's my problem: I don't seem like able to download from these locations http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189723 can anyone upload the black one to dropbox and share the address with me please?

I do like CM7.Only thing that is annoying me is awfully quality of camera photos.

CyanogenMod 7.2.0
I'm using CM7.2 Nightly of Dec 18, lovin' it. [My dream was to have CM on my S-ON phone in those days lol]

Honestly I like sense. Cm7 is absolutely amazing for customization. But the polish of sense and contact merging has converted me....for now.
Sent from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk

For now my favorite is Sensed m1ndh4x8r's ROM. Smooth, fast and stable. All i need)

Oxygen ROM for sure!
This ROM is cooking in my head: sense/cm7 mix!
Available in a month!
Now using CM7 stable with MIUI theme.
Testing and cooking HenseMod: sense without the crap, fast and stable!

Sense is ok, but I like CM more, because it's more memory friendly, no htc crap. I am willing to try every similar rom, even with sense.

Scoot CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) [07/08/11]

Scoot CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3
This is a build I have compiled from the official CyanogenMod source files and adapted for Kaiser/Vogue. Feel free to give it a go at your own risk!
Well, it still isn't quite as snappy as Froyo and the camera still doesn't work properly but it's probably about as fast as Gingerbread will get on our devices. I'm bound to have messed a few things up but i'll continue to work on it when I get time
All the usual things are working as far as i know, GPS works fine for me but the camera is as always not fully functional.
All of this is thanks to the guys working on the CyanogenMod roms and of course, none of this would work without all the hard work on the kernel so big thanks to dzo, vilord, l1q1d etc...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RLS 1:
Initial Release
Includes most of the Google Apps including Maps, Gmail etc..
Latest Market is included
RLS2:
Built from the latest 7.0.2 source
Optimised EGL for our devices
Updated Market
LDPI and PNG optimisations to save space & increase speed
ADW Launcher updated
Loads of tweaks and status bar changes
Updated RIL lib
Loads of fixes and optimisations
**I recommend leaving the phone for 5 minutes after installing to sort itself out and cache apps etc...**
RLS3:
I can't really be bothered to list all of the changes, there are quite a few but I just compile the thing, the changes are in the CyanogenMod repository. I have included the updated RIL and all of the Google Apps are up to date. The camera is still ****e but that's a driver issue. This release hasn't been heavily tested as I don't use my Kaiser as a main phone anymore So i'm sure you will find issues in which case we can sort them out as and when. Enjoy!

This is an alpha and still needs a fair bit of work to get it running to it's full potential but you can get an idea of what it will be like. Feel free to report any bugs that you find, by this i mean application crashes and things that don't work or look correct. I already know the system can hang and it isn't as fast a froyo
I have had to make a LOT of modifications for this to work, some of which may affect battery life but i haven't tested it for long enough to know so let me know how it goes. I'm bound to have messed a few things up but i'll continue to work on it when i get time

Excellent, thanks Scooter.
downloading now keep up the good work man
woot...gonna give it shot ... hoping for not getting same data/wifi reboots
woow, million thanks to you scooter
finally a gingerbread based build for our kaiser
btw, which kernel do you suggest for this build?
thanks in advance
Hmm for some reason I cannot boot to android the phone has been stuck in boot loop for the last 15 minutes. I have an app.img file with about 80 applications so this might be a problem I'll try to boot it without the app.img. Both data and system on sd card imgs + latest '25 kernel.
Edit.
Ok I have removed the apps.img and it still doesn't boot.
I have noticed that there have only been modules for '32 kernel included in the build. Should it work with '25 kernel with proper modules added?
I'll wait for All Languages version to test it with the new kernel.
1. this was my first attempt to instal android on nand.. noob here ;P
downloaded kernel VOGUIMG-320-FROYO-01-16-11.NBH, then changed with editor to kaiser and painel 2. Install occured ok.... but phone isn't working.. "no service".
2. I do i see my batery status? can only see that bar on the top but don't no accurate bat status in %.
3. after this install can i install another another version overwrithing this one? for example now the phone isn't working so i want to change to another version of android can i simply put another "androidinstal.tar" in andboot folder and install?
Thanks and sorry for this noob questions...

YES! you can
To view Battery percentage, you need to set that in Cyanogenmod Settings (correct me if I'm wrong here since its been ages when I used CM build)
Yes, you can do that it's actually very simple. Just remember to edit your .nbh before every install if you are changing versions (donut, froyo, eclair).
Cheers. Welcome to Android world

Try a .32 kernel, also i have only tested it on NAND so it may be an issue with Haret. To be honest we're lucky it works with the .32 kernel so i expect problems with the .25 kernel. Sorry

I think I'm going to skip the '32 kernel as It was acting up on me in the past. I'll try nand install in the evening hopefully it will work. Thanks Scooter.

I recommend using the latest .32 kernel you can find, either one that L1q1d has compiled or one from Clemsyn's thread You can find the latest kernel here: http://androidhtc.git.sourceforge.n...7c0bf5edc4f5c6d64ce4df29254e8332ce26b;hb=HEAD
Well have installed 6.1 and phone now works... =)
Will wait until a new version of this one to come out and then try again...
- Already found how to show percentage in bar status thanks dark_prince.
- Thanks for advice slimas, to edit .nbh do i need to reinstall kernel? and can i reinstall without mess up with previous android install or do i need to install again android?
- Some bugs that occurred to me .. sometimes bar on the bottom disappear can't access apps... ; some freezing sometimes, do you guys recommend to overlock? if so how to do it? Weather widget can't find info too lol not a serious prob...
I'm reading forum and these are some questions i couldn't find answer, for now i think that's all.. i'm enjoying android on kaiser think this is the time i will change forever...
thanks for fast feedback any good tips are welcome ;P

The bar at the bottom of the scrren can disappear if you swipe down on the screen, it is a bit random but is a flaw in ADW launcher. To get it back you need to press the 'menu' button and go to 'settings' then go to 'ADW Settings, UI Settings and untick 'Dockbar'. Re-select 'Dockbar' and exit settings and it should be back I expect some freezing, it is still under heavy development and our devices are quite limited hardware wise so there won't be any miracles yet I overclock my Kaiser to 500Hz using ATools, a lot of people don't recommend it but it is what i have always done and i have never had any problems, it speeds the phone up a fair amount. Just tick the option when editing your NBH. The phone obviously needs to be connected to data or wifi for weather widget to get location information, i just tried it with wifi and it worked ok, there may be an issue with data though, i'll look into it Thanks for testing.
CAMERA
camera is not working properly but it looks awesome i will try to apply the update from previous cm to see if this will work
camera
after applying the update android can`t start so i am going reinstall it

cannot install any apk app

I cannot install any apps on my phone

Yea man, you aren't going to get any help without giving us more details.... What kind of apks? Where are they from? What do you mean you "can't install them"? Does it give you an error? Are you rooted? What rom? What kernal?
I had this issue a while back, go into Titanium Backup and fix permissions.
It's worth a shot.
market wont load
I installed destroyer rom on my HTC evo 4g, I have android version 2.3.3, kernel version 2.6.37.3-cyanogemmod-0123-g53c6890 [email protected] #1, (whatever that means), CPU info ARMv&7 processor rev2 (v7l), MOd vers cyanogenmod-7.0.0-rc2-supersonic-kang, build # GR140. I hope all this info helps, wasnt sure what you guys would need to help fix problem but here is whats going on.
when i click on the market icon , it acts like it wants to load but doesnt, if i clear data, it then asks to create google account,..I have a google account, but when i click okay to create google account it doesnt do anything..
not sure if this is related but also tried to install flash player and it would install..
I am really new to this, and probably shouldnt have attempted to root my phone and install other than stock stuff...but everything else works and its definetly really fast, and cool...
any suggestions
Also; i installed the new market apk. 3.3.111 , i think?,..same thing = says "must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to continue...i click yes,,and NOTHING
Please Help!!!!!
For one thing, Destoyer was based on Android 2.1 I'm pretty sure, so that COULD be an issue. I mean, it's a pretty old ROM.
Hey man, I say flash a new rom, try some of these listed below
e3d shooter port (has 4g and sense 3.0)
Synergy (4g and sense 2.1 also extremely stable) - my daily driver
FEARmede (no 4g, runs sense 3.5) - Jared and dropzero work hard on this and things are getting fixed everyday.
if you like aosp try
cyanogen mod (4g very stable, have to install gapps to get market)
miui (no 4g, very clean ui, iphone replica almost is your an iphone fan)
savage mod 1.4 (4g, stable, the rom i run when using aosp)
I am running cm7.1 I cannot install any non market apps unknown sources are checked but I cannot get apostle to install. I get to the install screen try to push the button and it dose nothing. I have the stock kernal. Also since o Jane upgraded to 7.1 my video chat dose not work I use oovoo because this is the only app that work on Canada to US.

(Q) 2.3.7 Roms

Hello Everybody,
Am kinda new to the development stuff on Android, so excuse me if am asking a silly questions
i wanted to ask about the 2.3.7 Roms for Desire HD, i have noticed some issues about these roms and i want some clarifications about how to fix about it
1- I can not link the contacts with facebook or twitter or any other social app.
2- When i connect the phone to the pc i got only one feature that to mount the sd card storage instead of having the normal options from 2.3.5 roms (charge only, htc sync...etc)
3-The market can not recognize my device.
4- I can not automatically restore the apps from the market after setting the rom up
5- The maps, Latitude and all location apps could not get automatic permission to access my Gmail account
That's mainly the points i had noticed so far
so if somebody can advice about how to fix about this issues i will be very thankful
Thanks everybody in advance
Hi there @Mohamedloza.
May I ask what ROM are you using right now? Judging by your words, I bet you are using AOSP rom, yes?

Yeah I bet your right. It is either an AOSP rom or MIUI rom. Both will do this.
As for Google and Facebook, Google no longer supports syncing to Facebook (thank god) on its own. Install the Facebook app if you want it to sync to FB.
what is the difference among 2.3.x?
Thanks everybody for your quick answers
i do not know what do you mean with MIUI roms or AOSP rom
right now am using this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320941
this happens for every rom i use with 2.3.7 version (it's volume is always around 100 MB)
but for the roms with 2.3.5 version and it's weight is above 300 MB everything goes fine
Does this make any sense for you?
Waiting your feedback ASAP

OK your using an AOSP rom which means it is Android Open source Project. These roms use nothing made by the manufacturer. Including the drivers for the phone. There are some draw backs to it though as the open source drivers used doesn't make full use of the hardware. Think of it like a PC. Yes you can find open source drivers for your hardware but the drivers from the OEM will always be better as it is built for the device.

1. Not sure (Possibly related to a similar issue as question 4, Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Add Facebook Account
2. I believe that is a Sense only feature
3. Give it about 2-3 hours and the market will recognise you device again (Be sure to access the market from your mobile at lease once and except the T&C's).
4. Make sure the ROM you flashed has GApps installed with it and that you have linked the accounts (I.E had the prompt to sign in to google, if not the you will find the option in Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Google Account, if not then be sure to flash it after first boot of ROM (A quick search of the form will find you a copy of GApps).
5. Don't know the answer to this one either.
Okay, you are now using Absolution ROM, based from CyanogenMod 7.2RC, which is indeed an AOSP rom. As clarified by posts above, Facebook and other social app linking are Sense optimized. BUT, the syncing feature is still available in the ROM, but without automatic syncing. Either you have to manually set and link every contact in your phone, or simply merge them in the People app setting.
The HTC Sync and all the other stuffs you've mentioned before is HTC Sense exclusive.
About the market unable to recognise your phone, try to clean up the market cache/data in application setting.
Due to different framework of AOSP, the automatic app restore is disabled.
You can either clear the Google Map cache/data or uninstall and update the app to the latest version available, 6.0.2.
Thanks a lot everybody
that was really helpful for me... i really appreciate your help
well then it seems that all the roms with 2.3.7 is AOSP (is not it? if not please refer me to one full rom please)
Thanks again everybody
Merry Christmas for you all

Yes sense based roms are on 2.3.5. Not alot of diff to be honest. As MIUI, a search will tell you that. Nothing personal I just don't like it.
I think this is ROM's problems, you can view this ROM's developer's post, maybe it can help you .
MIUI Is AOSP also
i think u want the facebook for htc sense to do so. if ir using aosp roms u can download an app that is called contaapp or something like that. the link that u know is just for sense roms

[ROM][AOSP 2.3.7] OMFGB compiled and ported

Hy all,
inspired by this thread I spend some spare time in compiling OMFGB sources for use with the hero gsm.
Because of the fact, that I did not manage to successfully compile the OMFGB sources directly for the hero gsm (compiling was OK but could not get rom to boot) I did it the other way.
I compiled the sources for the hero cdma (heroc) and afterwards ported it to hero gsm.
I integrated Erasmux fly-kernel 13 since I used it with all other hero roms before.
After testing the rom for ~1 week (also my son is quite satisfied with it) I decided to share it.
I took out some apps that were not usable (for example God Mode) and put in minimal gapps so that it's possible to sign in on google account and run market.
Also I replaced the LatinIME.apk with the CMs one to get other keyboard layouts than querty.
I'd recommend to install morelocale2 to be able to dial 123456 instead of 123-456.
What I have to say is that I'm by far no developer (at least not on android platform).

God mode seems not to be compatible with hero, all menu entries were grayed out, so I decided to delete it from package.
Maybe someone has a clue how to get it run
Can you upload it to some other site? I can't seem to download from 2shared.

I ported and tested the rom step by step.
Since all keys work as they should, I skipped this step.
I gave it a go. Not bad, for some reason I had extremely good wifi reception using this ROM, so that's good. Really missed some kind of advanced settings 'cause I use a lot of options from there and that was a dealbreaker . Also a2ext didn't work, so I had to flash darktremor script which caused i few random reboots. All in all, a solid ROM which could be much improved.
Cheers

For the advanced settings, I could not get the God_Mode fully working so far.
For a2ext, I don't use it since I don't need it.
My son, which has a hero too, uses a lot of games.
For him I did custom mtd layout, much faster than a2ext cause it's kept all internal.
Please add the Russian.

CyanogenMod versions for Wildfire S

Hi,
I am really full of compliments about the good work of some guys that have done a good job in building the actual CyanogenMod versions for Wildfire S.
Thank you sooo much!!
But what I currently do not completly understand...
Why are most of the CM users really happy about version 10.2 or version 11.0 (like orig. CyanogenMod or WFSY) when those versions - last version of CM 9.2.2 included - do not even have GooglePlay/PlayStore and Data2SD (or Link2SD) installed?...
The last (and obviously most advanced CM version) CM9 (alpha9, v.9.2.2) would already be a wonderful solution for the WFS phone (I tested it!!) and it is said to be nearly finished (even video camera is working now at the version of Olivier) BUT both mentioned, absolutly necessary components are missing (and nobody mentioned it yet). Or what can I do with a phone where I cannot install new apps at all?..
So what is it that I misunderstand?...
I would be very happy if anybody could inform me about how I can find a version that has a complete set of system apps or how/where I can find both missing components to complete them by myself. (and even more happy if the cyanogenmod update function would still find some updates)
Otherwise I would guess that not any of the existing CM-based versions for Wildfire S can be used at all...
Should all the past work for creating a CM version (Android 4.x !!) for the (unfortunately!) one and only COMPACT smartphone on the world, 'Wildfire S' (I must admit, it is in fact!!) should have been completly in vain ???... I couldn't believe it.
Thank you guys very much for your nice explanations!
All the best to this wonderful community,
from Falk

Hi Olivier,
many thanks for your tip. You did not mention the point directly but I could answer most of my questions by mayself then.
Now I installed CM9 'cm-9-20140720-Olivier-marvel' together with 'CronMod-INT2EXT+_signed'. Works pretty fine!
Only little questions have been left now...
1.) How can I sort my app icons by subjects/folders (s. HTC Sense)? This Trebuchet launcher does not seem to support anything like that. If there is no chance, which launcher would you suggest instead?
2.) There is no really 'useful' version of CM10 or CM11 for WFS yet, is there? I couldn't find. Do you think there will be s.o. still working for a final version next time?... (why is Wildfire but not Wildfire S an official CM development?)
2b.) At your current version CM9, is there any problem left that should still be fixed? Everything works fine here yet...
3.) Therefore the OTA updater for CM would be a fine feature like in CM9 vers. 9.1.0 (but no updates found yet!). But your current CM9 version does not support it any more. Any reason for that?
3a.) Are updates possible anyway without flashing the whole ROM?
3b.) Is there anybody managing OTA any update of CM (v. 9..11) for WFS?
3c.) Are OTA updates from cm9 to cm11 possible?
4.) Skype does not react when clicking the icon to start it. Any idea what is the problem?...
5.) Some system programs (e.g. contacts or call manager) do not have that nice design than before. There is no chance/choice to exchange them?... (if yes, how and where to find alternatives?)
Thank you again for your final responses!
First of all this really does not belong in the development section, in Q&A perhaps.
And you just can't ask every single think that comes up in your mind, you gotta search a little bit and try it out for yourself.
Now, 1. Trebuchet does support folders but not auto-arranging. Most of the popular launchers support this.
2. The current CM10 and CM11 are perfectly functional and working. Though they lag a bit (which is fair considering our old device). And the wildfire only had an official CM7 which is very old now.
2b. If you don't have a problem it does not contain a problem.
3. OTA is working for CM11. But for CM9 a OTA makes less sense considering that its stable now.
4. No idea.
5. Again you have to look for yourself, nobody can babysit you all the time.
thanks very much!
Okay, maybe question 1 might belong to Q&A. That's it. Sorry.
To make you understanding (sorry to write again so much!)...
to 1.) Did not expect that it would support it. So I did not even search for!... Thanks, this drag/drop solution is more than perfect!!
to 2.) Sorry, then I am not able to find them. I searched a lot and found actual version like 'WFSY11.0-WFS-V5.5, 20140723' or 'cm-11-20140726-NIGHTLY-marvel' where not even back button or Android option menu worked. Lots of functions are missing. I did not try 'cm-11-20140810-NIGHTLY-marvel' but do not expect more within one month. The same with cm version 10.2. In a thread I read that it was give up because cm11 is already working better.
**** So would you please give me the link to the finished versions of cm10 and cm11, please? ****
(a patch for the video camera problem seems to be existing shortly now...)
to 2b.) My first problem I saw was missing updater in cm9 for version 10 and 11. And the strange Skype problem. And video problem was fixed JUST before!! BT seems to have restrictions as well. So there is good reason to ask this question!?..
to 3.) It seems as if simple updating from Android 4.0 to 4.2 (cm10) and 4.4 (cm11) isn't possible!?... Officially it seems to work. E.g. OTA of Samsung offered update from 4.2.2 to 4.4. Strange!... How/why does it work here?...
Remark: So I suppose it is CyanogenMod which does not support it... It will not work without 'Titanium Backup' here...
to 4.) I suppose you will have the same problem!? Maybe you have opportunity to try out quickly!?... Skype really does not seem to run on WFS cm9+INT2EXT+. Isn't that strange?... (I reinstalled it already. No chance.)
to 5.) I asked this HERE because it belongs to SYSTEM apps (contacts or call manager) that cannot easily be exchanged, as far as I know!... Can they?...
There is one thing I would like to add, after your remarks to my point 2... Maybe I could not find the right sources. But this is because there is no resource pool (about WFS at XDA anywhere. Instead there just appear 'lonely' links in some threads. And instead of telling/explaining the systematics (if there is one) you guys generally just mention the fact (e.g. a link). So this makes it hard for non-insiders. You understand what I mean?...
(so e.g. I will have to ask (in another thread) how I can find the 'FM radio' app (no streaming!) which is missing in CM9 - instead of just looking at the right page where they are collected)
I would be really happy to get to know at least where you guys have found the informations for all what you do when 'cooking' new versions, etc.!...
Cause then I would have read about all that much more!... Instead of blaming me. Sorry, if I do not have that general info that you got already.
Maybe you understand better now!?... Would be fine.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your short repsonses. Have a nice day!
Again only things that are directly related to development are to be placed in development section. And NO if you have a problem with a rom you have to ask it in Q&A. Read the development forum rules in the stickies attached to the top of the section.
And you could also try reading through the stickies in the general section. It will give you some understanding.
Now CM10 and CM11 works, the threads are pretty high in the development section, you can find them if you look. The version of CM11 you used is the right one (the NIGHTLY) and back button does work. Try the later versions. Officially updating to a higher version is different and large corporations can spend time and money to make it work. But it just is not possible (or rather safe) with the variety of unofficial roms. You could try but most probably fail. You can install different apps for call and messaging and they will work. Search for those apps. CM9/10 works fine and have very less amount of problems. Now remember that this is a very old device and the devs are doing it NOT as a profession. So every single thing will never work.
Now as a last your largest problem is you think everything will be written somewhere in front of your eyes. It will not be. You have to use Google before asking a question. And also you just have to calm down and fix your attitude.

That was my fault, I'd moved this out of a thread and mistakenly put it in the Development section. All sorted now.
thanks again for your time to answer!!
I know, I sound as if I would not know which hard work you guys do. But I do, aWF Suser. And I mentioned that already in the beginning.
And I have heard already from your collegues that it would be a good idea if things could be organised some better. The official cm versions e.g have a central resource pool. Or the android-Wiki and CM-Wiki notes are all out-dated (from 2012) !!... Etc.
But PLEASE understand this more as a suggestion than a criticism - from a user that in your eyes only expects and criticises but cannot give. This is not the case!
Thank you!
I know it is an old smartphone I have. And I would have bought a new one already a long time ago. But even Samsung Galaxy Mini is too big in size and some important functions you will only find in the big version. Why is that so? Nobody can explain!... (i would pay the same price for a small phone!!! Handy devices must not be worse and more expensive than big ones!!)
The WFS is just the only really COMPACT smartphone all over. And I am sad that the industry detected a trend to bigger displays. The opposite is the trueth. Nearly all my friends e.g. like to have a compact phone but those always a beginner versions/hardware which cannot be understood at all.
Really sad. It is a big strange hole in products on market, isn't it?...
Unfortunately you did not give me tips how I could find a way to get more familiar with what and how you guys are doing. Is it a secret? I could imagine to do some work here as well. I am very interested in how you are doing your development work!...
Thank you again...
Now it is sure...
Olivier's last CM9 version still has bugs, not only the problem with lgCamera and Skype but also at the akku loading status.
It seems as if it is not correctly refreshing. The loading curve (s. settings) slows down a lot and shows e.g. after 4 hours loading still 43%. But after rebooting it changed to the right value finally: 100%.
So again my question before, as Olivier unfortunately put away the OTA update function (but ment that it is not necessary anymore):
How can this version be fixed?
As far as I know you don't offer patches but only complete ROMs...
Okay first sorry for being rude as posting in the development section was not your fault.
Now the main problem with our device is not that its old but that it has a armv6 cpu which is not supported by later android versions. So development for developers is tougher and bugs will remain. I mentioned the general stickies before there you can find some useful guides.
And have you installed GAPPS in CM9 because some apps depend on it and won't work without it.
And just to be clear, I'm not really a developer but just a user like you.
I never said CM9 doesn't have bugs. It's is clearly stated in its OP that:

Hallo Olivier,
never mind. But I just understood it like that. As you gave the reason for the OTA non-support in your ROM.
So if I misunderstood you... what is your reason then?...
In fact it would bring us forward if you could please comment my questions and/or give tips to solve the mentioned problem.
@so please give me a chance to fix the akku status bug. This is really annoying.
Can you confirm that problem? And if so will you fix it?
And if so how can I update it by OTA updater? Or alternatively at least by a patch but not by a new complete ROM !?...
@TO the Skype problem...
First of all: can you confirm my problem?...
To your question: I used your ROM from 20th Aug. (119.518 KB) This one contains already gapps, I suppose. Cause Google Play and the other stuff was already installed!...
@TO lgCamera...
This wonderful camera app worked fine with EQDKP (v.2.3.5) but now it is too slow and hops a lot. Can you confirm that?
And if so do you have any idea why this is a problem?...
@how can I add FM Radio (analog) support?...
Thank you very much for your feedback!
PS: So if the last version of CM9 is not ment for daily use... which CMx version is it then? Is there none?...
Currently your cm9 works fine. Only those three problems so far...
Do you care for my bug messages?... (or where can I post them?)
Hallo aWF Suser,
yes, I know the problem with the arm version. You must not excuse for any bug in CM.
I do not have problems with bugs. I have more problems when they cannot be fixed easily (missing OTA updater) or errors are not heard or cared for so that bugfixes will not be available at all...
By the way the phone Wildfire (without 'S') is supported by Standard CyanogenMod and also has an ArmV6 processor!...
You mean I should read again the forum rules?... What is it that is is still annoying you in my style of writing?...
Olivier's ROM I used (s. previous message) obviously contained GAPPs already. GooglePlay atc. was already installed. So this should not be the reason, should it?...
First of all: can you confirm my Skype problem, aWF Suser?... I expect it to be in each CM9 version!...
Thank you very much for your support!
PS: By the way, I have compatibility problems when flashing ROMs. For nearly each ROM I have to change the recovery. Is there any that can read all 'formats' of zip files?...

The Wildfire is listed officially only for CM7 (gingerbread) . After that it has not been supported. I am not asking you to read the rules, in the stickies in general section there is a thread that lists some guides to some useful things. And is OTA that necessary because in most cases a dirty flash is enough to upgrade from one version to another as long as its the same android version. Upgrades between different android version would not be possible even with OTA (as lots of things change, it will probably end in a bootloop). I am not using CM9 currently so can't speak for that.
So then which CM version are you using on your WFS? And why?
I flashed cm11 shortly but it still has too many problems. E.g. the camera app crashes after successfully recording a video, the launcher only has two pages, launcher does not seem to support folders, etc.
Do you know where I can find the actual todo list? (AndroidWiki unfortunately is not maintained anymore!)
I will give Paranoid 4.45 a try yet. Maybe this is better!?...
Otherwise I will keep cm9 and hope that we can find out why Skype is not running.
Oooh, that is important... I can make a 'dirt flash'? This is very fine!! Then OTA is not that necessary, of course. But there is still no reason to left it away, is it? Especially because all this observing and searching for the update is NOT necessary! Can't understand Olivier here...
Could you comment my PS as well, please?...
