Question before I start to cook my own custom roms? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
Well today I decided that I wanted to get more into Android Developing.
I know some java, not much but I know **** about bash scripting etc.
So I decided if I could cook a fully functional rom together before I really started developing stuff etc.
Now here's the actual question:
I have a HTC Wildfire and would like to make my first custom rom for this device.
Is there a way to have just the stock android froyo with the drivers for HTC Wildfire?
Or how do I strip the stock rom for a HTC Wildfire from Sense so I have a basic froyo rom with the drivers for Wildfire included?
With kind regards,
Seprs

bump, can no one help me? :/

HD ROM?

Dutty stated that he may not be doing any more ROMs and I just wanted some questions asked by people who could be able to help me. I might take a stab at making my own ROM. I seen the video tutorial posted around here, but ..
Are there any more tutorials on how to start?
When I start, Im confused by which ROM to use, can I use any ROM to start ? (IE Duttys) or do I have to use a special ROM?
Whats all this im seeing about HD ROMS?
Thanks for your time.
i don't cook so i can't says whats best to start with...sorry
but HD is from the touch HD rom
i hope this helps

duttys roms are locked, u cant recook them, aztor roms are not locked.
the best is to use original htc roms as base rom, and them combine it with latest sys build and drivers etc.
How do i know wich rom is locked?
the best ask the rom shef and probably they will answer u
regarding HD, the rom shefs try to combine and port new HD drivers and apps etc.

welcome to the desire community yes we have HD roms in the android development section, but the devs dont have the camera working yet .... there are loads of great roms in the development section so maybe you should try a few, see what ones you like the best
One piece of advice - read, read and read some more!!!
And search lots before asking questions as it's likely to have already been answered
Enjoy your stay!!
P.S. the HD port on the Desire is awesome!!!
I would advice you to lurk the forums, pick up tips and experiences about roms. If you like the sense UI i recommend LeeDroid mod. If you don't like sense i'd advice you to try out OpenDesire by AdamG or DeFroST by richardtrip. Good luck, and have fun

[Q] HD Roms on Desire - Little Confusion

Hey,
So first off I dont have a Desire I have a DHD so am in no way familiar with the D in any way.
A friend is wondering wether to get the normal D or the DHD and has asked if you can flash DHD roms onto the normal D?
I see theres HD roms already but I dont yet know the difference.
Is it that simple or do the chefs have to take the DHD rom and convert it to the D?
Cheers, appreciate the help
You can flash the DHD based roms that are in the Desire section. So yes, it's that simple.
Sorry, might not have been clear.
I meant the DHD roms from the DHD section?
Weather they had to be recooked or if they could flash straight?
no you dont take roms from DHD section and flash them on desire
you go to desire android dev section, and there we have roms ported from dhd to fit desire
Cool,
Thats what I wanted to know.

vanilla Rom for HTC desire

hi
Be gentle im very new to this please.
i have a HTC Desire A8183 GSM 850/900 with telstra Branding, I would liketo install a custom Rom without the telstra Rubbish on it .
im running 2.2 at the moment .
if there is a 'Vanilla " Android Rom where would i find it please ?
Thank you for your patience and understanding .
Haven't seen downloadable plain Android ROM anywhere (just screenshots), but MODs are plentifull. E.g. Redux if like minimalistic approach or always popular CyanogenMod.
If you just want to get rid of telstra stuff, check official HTC RUUs/ROMs from this thread. That way you'd have Android+HTC SW (e.g. Sense). Or, to save you the trouble of rooting, pick one from here.
Have fun with experimenting1

[Q] How to port a ROM

Hi guys,
I got my Desire Z since the very first day it was available and I am still very happy with this great handset. I can already tweak and adjust existing ROMs to my needs and I have some basic knowledge (at least I hope so ). Now I want to make the next step and try to port ROMs from other devices to the Desire Z. I already tired it but I just got stuck at the splash image.
So here are my questions: Do you guys have suggestions for guides to follow (is there anything DZ specific to keep in mind)? Also guides for debugging a port would be very helpful to me.
So long
Cid-Vox
PS: Maybe I have to add that my main interesst at the moment is to port the latest MIUIv4 to the DZ (so anything special in porting ICS ROMs?)
