The easy way would be to use ROM manager, open rom manager, do "backup of current rom" first to back up this working rom in case you want to revert after flashing a new rom, next go to "download Rom" and choose a new rom to download (there are only currently three roms offered in rom manager CyanogenMod,Virtuous and CyanogenMod Nightlies but I dont recommend Nightlies for noobs could have lots of bugs) it will ask if you want to install it, remember to select wipe data/cache any time you switch roms, and let it install the rom.
Other wise you will have to download a rom install it to the root of your sd card, open ROM manager, select boot into recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, select install zip from sd, select choose zip from sd, choose the rom zip you installed and apply, when done reboot and finish. Remeber in either case do a backup in rom manager first.

Thank you so much, do you happen to know where i can find a sense 2.2 rom??

Thats Virtuous, its what I use, use rom manager and download Virtuous 0.8.1 full rom and install.
Remember to wipe when changing roms, you don't need to wipe when applying updates.

open rom manager
select backup current rom if have not already done this (it will boot into recovery and backup your rom then it will reboot back into your current rom)
after that go to download rom
select virtuous
select download full Virtuous 0.8.1
it will download two files Virtuous 0.8.0 and update from 0.8.0 to 0.8.1
when its done it will open rom pre-installation screen
select wipe data and cache
then press ok
it will reboot into recovery and install the rom
that its

I will let you know how it goes

Anytime you install a fresh rom, it starts fresh, you can use the app titanium backup to make a backup of your apps, and info and reinstall them onto diffrent roms. I would suggest to start reading the diffrent threads in this form and start learning how you use your new rooted phone and all the options you now have. Remember there are some roms and radios you dont want to intall on your phone, like the ones made for the desire z. Also might want to check out gfree for your phone. That will give you radio s-off and a true permroot, but you have to use adb to do this. It will also unlock the carrier and carrier id for the phone(so you can use other carrier sim cards). Here is another video on how to set up adb on your computer and the driver needed for your phone.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Remember dont do anything unless your sure you understand the directions. Keep reading and searching, this is what is gonna help you understand diffrent aspects of modifying your phone, another good resource is youtube, look up videos on how to do diffrent things, have fun.

[Q] Display OFF -> mobile network shuts own

Hello guys,
i use:
Redux 1.0.0
32.54 radio
stock kernel (redux)
desire
the battery was a little bit draining for me and i wanted give the RIL a chance ( btw i dont know what this is (yes im an idiot ) and installed it. i also tried with installing a undervolting zip that is given on the Redux page .
and now when i turn on my phone i have mobile network but then when i turn off display and on again i cant get it again until i reboot
please help

First you shouldn't flash stuff if you don't know what it is or does.
Second you shouldn't flash ril's on gingerbread roms. At least that's the case with oxygen.
Just reflash your rom without wiping, this will revert the ril to the right one. This probably fixes it, else you have to do a full wipe and not flash any "random" stuff.

at first , big thx for your fast help , but i have one more question :
when i install the rom again , can i loose any data then :S ? (even without wiping)
and can undervolting have any effects on this too?

No you shouldn't lose anything except stuff on the system partition. So if you manually moved something to system it gets removed. uv kennels should not have a effect on this but kernel will be reverted also.

[Q] new rom/kernel

Hey guys, I just rooted my phone a few hours ago from the tutorial here on this site for my android 2.3.3 hboot 2.16....well i finally got to root it and got really excited. THe main 2 reasons i rooted were for wifi tethering and terrible battery life. Bought an extended battery before but didnt help much.
Anyway i think i flashed it lol with superuser? ( i backed up files with rom manager and myrombackup) I just downloaded set cpu with the following settings
enabled check notifications check
screen off priority 100 245 max 245 min performance
charging full priority 50 998 max 245 min ondemand
battery<75 priority 50 806 max 245 min ondemand
So my question is, are these good settings? how much better do you think my battery life will be with these settings?
oh and do roms and kernels come in like the same zip file? where i flash them together? and which do you guys think is best for battery life, but similar to the evo stock rom? i dont wanna change my phone too much, i like it, just didnt like the battery life...sorry if this question is redundant, but most of the threads i found were really old so i didnt wanna put in an old rom or kernel if i dont have to.... THANK u guys so much before hand.

If you want to stay stock there are a few roms in the development forum that are stock with bloat removed and minimal mods. You might check some of those out.
One example is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249615
The next step would be a ROM that is ported to the Evo but with a stock look. I am running MikG which I think is one of the best.
A ROM will always come with a kernel that will be flashed with it. You can always flash a different kernel over it later. Freedom is a good kernel (see my sig for a link).

If your looking for a stock rooted ROM with good battery life you might want to try a froyo ROM with an sbc kernel you will get almost 2 times more out of your battery and its the same old sense 1.0 so you won't even notice a difference.

Battery is OK like any gb ROM and bloat is what we call any apps that come from our carrier that you don't want or need on the ROM like stocks ,nova , sprint TV etc..
Edit: you can remove apps "bloat" with any app that will let you like titanium backup I use antek app its free on the market.

Yeah the evo got stuck with sense 1.0 even with the gb update .
If what ever ROM you flash works for you you can keep it forever if you like you will need to try out a few ROMs they all work different on each evo there are a few different types if evos .
What might work good for me might not for you.

What recovery are you using ?
I recommend amon ra 2.3 if your not already .
If you already backed up your ROM from recovery "nandroid backup" then you don't need to do it again its just in case something goes wrong so you can go back to it.
Yes download the ROM from here and the kernel then wipe everything except your sd card and battery stats "you can wipe your battery stats if your battery is at a 100%" then flash the ROM and then the kernel.
If you get any fc's after first boot fix permissions if that doesn't work go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot that will fix most problems.
Hope that helps you out.

wow, you're super helpful
i actually used the superuser backup- from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
what's the difference between that and amon ra 2.3?
also i did a backup from the recovery and also from rommanager.
and finally, lets say i get the rom you told me about, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 - (warm twopoint) it says on that thread,
As this ROM now uses the latest official HTC Kernel (#15) you MUST update your Radio/Wimax. I recommend Calkulin's combo update which is available here or via direct download here.
Installation Instructions:
Download Rom and Radio/Wimax updates and place in the root of SDCard.[/B]
umm does the kernel come in the same file as the rom that i download? and where do I get the radio/wimax updates and what do I do with them? do i flash them too and when?
(should I get a separate kernel for better battery life? some people commented that the battery life wasn't great with this rom, so should i use a different kernel?)

Superuser is an app the let you allow root to apps that need it.
You want to make a backup from recovery its called a nandroid backup I think you have clock work mod recovery you might want to switch to amon ra 2.3 you can get the link from my sig.
When you make a backup make sure to backup your wimax keys I think cwm does it on its own in ra2.3 you can pick and choose what you want to backup.
I'm not sure what radios your on but you should be good if you had 2.3 on your phone when you rooted it.
The ROM comes with a kernel but its the stock kernel give me a minute and I'll post a link to the ones that work with it.

For the recovery zip make sure its on the root of your sd not in any folder then boot to your bootloader not recovery you can download an app called quick boot to do that or just turn your phone off then hold down volume and power when it comes to the bootloader it will automatically scan for the update just hit volume up to except it then you can reboot the phone or go to recovery.

No you don't have to flash it then I just forgot about rm and flashing it that way I don't use rm anymore only to fix permission.
Now when you go to recovery to make a backup go under backup/restore/ nand backup and select what you want to backup leave the ones that are checked then check android secure ,sdext if your sd is partitioned , and wimax I believe thats all I backup .
You don't need to backup recovery or cache .
You should also make a backup of just your wimax keys that way if you lose them in a flash you can restore just that and not have to restore a whole backup.

ok now can you tell me if I have the steps right please?
- I'm going to download the rom Download Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 (Mirror 1) and paste it onto the root of my sd card.
- Then I'm going to download the kernel 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS)- and paste it to the root of my sd card.
- Then, I use quick boot to go into recovery, then I wipe what I have to wipe/factory reset, then I flash the rom....
- THen I dont have to wipe again, and i just flash the kernel...THen, I can use myrombackup to get all my apps and the information in the apps back...
Should i use set cpu with this rom and kernel? and is thiss correct? lol- I'm really excited btw thank u sooo much---and oh the kernel i have on my phone right now is kernel version- 2.6.35.10...

Use mybackup root to backup apps and data then use it to restore them.
Yes it sounds like you got it wipe everything except your sd card, battery stats and screen rotation I'll post a like to a super wipe I use that you can flash to make sure you wipe everything as well.
Then flash the ROM then the kernel then reboot.
If you get any force closes go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then under other run fix uid package mismatch or what ever its called that will fix permissions from recovery.
http://www.4shared.com/file/p6mi6ogM/VR_SUPERWIPE.html
Flash this before you flash the ROM it will wipe everything for you do the wipes on your own as well.
After your all done you should download the app battery calibration and calibrate your battery to get more battery life it wipes you battery stats you can do it from recovery but you should just use the app it will tell you what to do.

Help Please

Hello
I have an original HTC Desire to be honest I think its a great mobile apart from one major issue which almost makes it un-usable its complete lack on onboard memory.
For this very reason I upgraded the mobiles ROM from a standard Vodafone UK OTA ROM to Oxygen-2.0-RC7 but I want to remove it and put something on that is 1 better 2 does OTA updates 3 works 4 Im not the sort of geek who can spend days trying to get something working so maybe going back to stock would be best.
I dont know what Vodafone UK are currently up to Andriod wise but think maybe I should go back to stock as I will again get OTA updates when the OS is updated something that I dont get at the moment.
Instead of using Vodafone stock ROM isnt there a generick google ROM with OTA I can use?
My only concern is that will I have to UN root the phone?
Will I loose all ability to transfer apps to the SD card?
I would like to get this done today so any replys would be very very much appreciated.
Cheers
Paul

I downloaded MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.14_Signed.zip and placed it in the root of my SD card I then rebooted using the bootloader option I then whent to HBOOT and selected Fastboot then selected bootloader the next screen comes up with some errors then goes back to the previous screen...
Any ideas what im doing wrong?

You need to select recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

As rootSU said, select Recovery and not Bootloader.
Before flashing ANY new rom it's always best to do a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (you can restore to how it was when you made your backup).
Before you flash the rom you've chosen you should do the three wipes... In recovery "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", "advanced/wipe dalvik cache".
Install your new rom... "install zip from sd card", "choose zip from sd card".

Thanks everyone ive updated the ROM now i use Titanium backup too.
Only thing is im not sure ill stick with 'MIUI_Au-Desire-1.10.14_Signed'

I like MIUI for the themeing and speed.
however if you like to keep sense, insert coin is really good, used that for a few months. Generally most roms you find on here will give regular updates much more than Vodafone or any carrier.
Personally I wouldn't go back to stock. If MIUI isn't for you, its not everyones choice, just browse the roms listed, try a few and see which you prefer.
On a side note I also find my backup root better than titanium backup, but once again its a personal choice.

[Q] How to go back to CM7 from ICS

So, since ICS ROMs became available for the T-Mobile G2, this is the first time I cannot find any custom ROM that I actually like. So I want to go back to using the CM7 ROMs. Anything I need to take special attention to?
I am currently running the "unofficial CM9" ROM with Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.7. I could not find a walk thru or any guides for going back to GB.
Thanks!

Just like any rom, backup what you'd like, do a full wipe (superwipe and or fastboot wipe is prefered) then flash rom of choice, gapps-kernel-mods if needed.

OK, just making sure. If I never messed with kernels or anything else, I imagine I just wipe and flash ROM/gapps...?

Correct, after you wipe just follow the instrucitons the dev has provided for your rom of choice. Some will need you to flash gapps, some flash kernel, some other mods if you'd like. Going from gingerbread to froyo to ics to donut to cupcake to eclaire, if you wipe that's all that matters before install

The only issue I can see with going back to GB is if your partitions were ext4 (which they should be otherwise ics is laggy) and the ROM only supported ext3.

Interesting point. I rarely do any other mods or optimization, but that may be my problem. Lag is one of my main gripes. How can I tell if I am partitions to ext4?

if you have 4ext recovery there is an option there to format system or at least check system formats, you will see either ext3 or ext4
im sure this can be done other ways, maybe through terminal or adb but this is a simple way of checking and or changing the system format

Definitely get 4EXT. It allows easy non-destructive formatting from EXT3 -> EXT4 either via recovery or via the app. It's an incredible recovery with an awesome developer who is very active and partial to feedback.
There were a bunch of Andromadus users awhile back suffering from lag & stuttering at times w/ ICS and they all had their partitions still as EXT3. I know that going from EXT3 -> EXT4 on GB was a huge performance increase for me and I'd assume it would be the same, if not more, on ICS..

I'll have to search for a guide as my recovery doesn't appear to show me anything about next, but maybe I'll give pics another try with ext4 before going back to GB.
Edit: Oh I see, there is a separate recovery called 4EXT. Gonna try it now.

Try 4EXT Touch. I was very hesitant about switching to touch-based recoveries (old habits die hard), but am now glad I have and wish I'd done it sooner

Snazzy looking. Does this image mean I am on ext4 already then...?

Looks like it to me

Well, backto CM7, but now having Market hiccups.

Did you do a full wipe? Try clearing the cache for google play under settings>manage applications

I did SuperWipe, installed CM7, installed latest GB gapps. Once booted, Google "Market" (I thought GB was also updated to "Play"??) was telling me it cannot install things due to an error. I went into recovery and wiped cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions, and rebooted, same thing right now. I did also go into Market in Manage Apps and cleared all data from Market.

it will say market @ first install and then will update to play shortly. If these fixes still don't work try to get a log cat

Eh, I wiped again and rebooted. Now it is updating and seems the universe is fine. Thanks

One of my gripes with ICS was the Browser not loading pages, or pages going blank, when doing anything with a form control like a text box or drop down menu... However, I loved that the bookmarks would sync with the ones I use in Chrome on my other PCs. Does something like this exist for GB?

Chrome to phone app, or mozzila can sync with firefox.
Applications (generlly speaking) are not firmware specific - what works on froyo works on gb works on ics.

Not sure if you understood what I meant. The browser app in ICS is very different from the one in GB. When you go into the Browser on ICS, you have "Local" bookmarks and "Network" bookmarks. The network ones sync with the same bookmarks that your Chrome desktop browser is syncing. Chrome to phone just pushes them to my phone, but it would have been nice to not have to manage the bookmarks separately on the phone. Minor concern really.
