[Q] bootmanger for htc desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

do ics roms work on boot manager? i tried a few roms etc eg oxygen miui and some sense 2.1 and 1.9 roms which work fine however ics roms seems to give me bootloop on my phone , the only ics rom i could get working was bcm but did not have any launcher , flashed nova launcher then flashed soft keys then got bootloop , doing so off normal recovery doesnt give me this on ics roms .... any ideas or specific steps i need to do to install it ?
(if this thread was posted in the wrong thread/ forum please move it )

Did you also try Sandvold's ICS (click on my sig)? If not, search the thread. If I remember it were discussed and the result was, it's working.

Maybe try ROM made by Preston74?? You find this Rom on forum.android.com.pl...This ROM is a port from VIRTUOSQUATRO for DesireHD.IS very stable and not too laggy like for a beta...

laggy isnt the issue , i want to use boot manager for a ics rom but cant get it to boot properly ,all i get is bootloop this is what i did
1. flash rom via bootmanger
2.flashed nova launcher
3 booted up ,thats fine
4. then flashed softkeys via my main rom
5 rebooted and got bootloop
my main rom is a desire rom based of desire s , i find the desire hd roms choppy in some areas

works but not as good as running it of a normal recovery

I tried a few ics roms too and only the 'tiny ics' Rom would boot thru boot manager for me. Check your hboot if it is compatible with the Rom. This is from my personal experience, others may have gotten them to boot using boot manager.

Yeah but it freezes all the time, reboots, camera don't work and still slow. Don't get me wrong it CAN be used (and I was using it for ages)... but the cons outweigh the pros as of yet and I rather use a GB ROM, a lot faster and a lot more stable.

when autorotation is disabled, no more reboots or freezes in my case. And the freshnew version I'm downloading ATM should solve rotation issues

If you are using anything but stock hboot you may have issues as Lenny does modify the rom to primarily suit stock hboot. It will work on other hboots but some apks are missing.
Look at alpharev website and flash back to stock hboot. Do a full wipe and then reflash the rom. From their you should find miui-au pretty stable

I had a problem once changing hboot. I read a few times on different forums that one should always use the "downgrade" hboot prior to changing hboot. Since then i did so, and did not have any problem anymore.

[Q] [q] icecram jibwich 2.0 problem

Hey, I flash this ROM a few weeks ago but today seems like I had a problem with it it just froze on the HTC white screen on boot now I can't Boot into ROM I did not mess around with it I just rebooted and there it goes ) could anyone help me?
I think that this is the wrong place for your post. the right place is the jibwich 2.0 thread!
apart from that jibwich is outdated and practically indifferent from Andromadus Audacity beta 1 or 2. The best and up-to-date ics roms are the Andromadus roms (mimicry and audacity).

Sounds more like a recovery problem than a ROM problem; what recovery are you using? CWM frequently has this issue, try reflashing the latest version or, better yet, flash 4ext.

Help finding a good Sense ROM.

Hello guys!
I recently bought a Desire Z and I want to change my ROM cause the one I have one is slow.
I have Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 (actually I installed it) but i think it's a little slow. I had before stock ROM and I was smooth and really fast but the backup got corrupted and I couldn't restore.
So now I'm searching for a Sense ROM that is fast and doesn't lag. And instead of trying every ROM I thought you might help me.
My phone is rooted and is S-OFF so if you have any suggestions I'm ready to flash .
Thanks in advance!

with affinity, you wont be able to play games like temple run because its the most ram consuming rom ive ever tried, and i tried them all.
energy a bit better then affinity, but being sense 3.5 you wont be having more then 60mb free ram after some using.
i dont think you would like sense 4.0a roms either because of the poor battery life and screen glitches related to 3.x kernel.
imho, untill the 3.x kernels gets fixed and optimized enough, sense 2.1 is the best sense rom we can have.

Course if heavy android gaming is your thing, then I wouldn't recommend Sense at all for the rom on such a phone and rather something more along the lines of a AOSP style rom (aokp, cm, etc).
PS: The 3.0x kernel roms are always going to be slower than their 2.6.x counterparts.
I guess at the current time, if it must be Sense, shoudl go with something based off of Sense 3.5 or earlier (3.6 onward is ICS). But even 3.5 is considered reasource heavy, hence the 2.1 btrst mentioned.

Well for senseless roms try audacity or mimicry, they are the best ics stock roms I can think of, but there is this crazy dev working on a jelly bean Rom and its quite good but it is still a test build.

Yes, you're in the wrong place. When you say "don't seems to work" do you mean that there are problems in the ROM (usually stated in the first post of the ROM) or you can't get any to flash (read a tutorial)?
You have to give more information. What doesnt work?
You tried sabsa, existz's Aospx is highly recommended. LC's IceColdcream are all great rims.

First of all it's wrong thread, secondly be clear with what problem you are facing.
In simple (if you are new to custom roms or DHD), you need
1- HTC Desire HD
2- Eng S-Off
3- Radio S-Off
4- Custom recovery
5- Custom ROM
For 2 and 3 search in "DHD Android Development" for how to root or something like that, there is tons of information available or simply google it.
Talking about custom roms everyone here has his/her own choice. What is yours
1- AOSP
2- Sense
After getting through all these procedure you might have a working ICS rom.
Good Luck......

its already s-off bro and rooted aswell, I figure when a rom is under 300mb it doesn't past boot logo, I just tried one that was over 300mb and it work wella but it wasn't ics and ics is wat I want ama try and search again
pls tell me
wats the difference between HD and DHD
HTC DHD = HTC Desire HD,
HTC Desire HD = HTC Desire HD
no difference
oh ok well I can't find a working link with an ics rom, anyone can maybe upload one for me or maybe bump a working link pls
Not to be funny, but have you ever flash any custom rom and got it to work on your DHD before?

[Q] Why does some ROMs cause the phone to bootloop?

Hi guys,
I'm not very skilled in flashing ROMs, but I do it anyway every other day or so as am curious on what new ROMs can provide. I now longer panic when the phone get stuck at the bootscreen. Now when it occasionally happens I now have time to thinking about the reason for the bootloop - and that's why I start this thread
For some reason there are ROMs that I'm not able in install, like the official nightlies from CM 10 and Liquidsmooth RC9 - but I have no problems installing the "pure" Jellybean 4.2.1 (AOSP), TripNDroid CM 10.1 and Blade v4 (desensed) which I'm currently running.
Can anyone explain why some are able to boot on my HOX and some are not?
For your info, I'm on the Tegra 3 version using HBOOT 1.36 S-ON - Recovery is CWM 5.8.4.0
Thanks in advance.

I always do this - of course I can miss it sometimes. So I always trye reflashing if the phone get stuck in bootloop... But with the above mentiones ROMs I can't install them not matter what I do.
I think it may be caused by your hboot version: 1.36. You may need a special repacked boot.img to run some AOSP/AOKP/CM10 ROMs.
DO you Flash the correct boot.img ???
I always thought the hboot versions was backward compatible?
Regarding the boot.img -> then I alway extrat the boot from the ROM zip - and maybe that's the problem?

That is the problem. For example on official CM10 you need a special boot.img for higher hboots. See post #9308 in CM10 thread.

The fact of the matter is that most of the 4.2.1 based custom rom are compatible with HBOOT 1.28+ on the contrary to 4.1.2 based roms. For second ones U have to flash a special boot.img.

Ahh... that clears up some things. Thanks buddy! :good:
Talking about the boot.img file... Is there a sort of "all-round" boot.img that can be used for all ROMS?

No, such thing doesn't exist. Every ROM has it's own workaround for hboot incompatibilities.
And every ROM uses a different kernel so it would be impossible.
