Hi all, i have been searching for a while and cant seem to find my answer so hopefully someone can help. I have rescently rooted my HTC Desire and installed one of the roms off here (Psychosis 5.0) it has installed fine except i no longer have the android market on my phone, i am running 2.1 0.83. Can someone please tell me how to get it back?
Many thanks.
You can try to flash a stand alone new market or Gapps, but I think it's better to just flash a up to date rom.
Since Psychosis 5.0 is based of a old Leedroid rom I would suggest you install the newest Leedroid or find something else you like.
Ah ok pal, thanks for the help i will find a different rom
Any advice as to what rom to flash?
Depends on what you want, look around in development and this thread. See if anything there strikes your interest.
If you have no idea and what to stay as close to stock as possible but with the benefits of custom roms I would suggest to install Leedroid
If wanna have everything working and want to stay as close as to stock as said before than Leedroids ROM is the one for you.
If you like speed and no snick snack and no Sense, I want to suggest DeFrost 6.1a. See the rest Non-Sense ROM too.
If you like extra snick snack and the new Sense, try one of the DHD or Z ported ROM. I am currently using InsertCoin 1.8f.
If you are and advance user and like to experiment things, try one of the experimental Gingerbread (2.3) ROMs.
If you like to have something iPhone alike, try one of the MIUI.
Note:
For newbies, please stay away first from any Data2SD and Data2Whatever or any Gingerbread ROMs at the moment.
Stick with App2SD, learn more first!
I don't know how to get market back, but I also recommend Leedroid, AuraxTSense, or ReflexTSense. All good ROM's, in my opinion...
Hi everybody,
I'm a HTC Desire user and used to using custom ROMs, but I have a friend who has a HTC Wildfire and wants to get away from HTC Sense with a custom ROM.
I've never used the Wildfire but should have no problem rooting it and installing a ROM for her, but which would you say is the most stable, bugfree, quickest AOSP ROM, preferably with A2SD+ (though not essential) to install for day to day use?
Ideally I'd prefer her to have 2.3 and above, but if there's a really good 2.2 ROM I'd be happy with that.
If anyone is familiar with ROMs for the Desire, I use Redux 1.2 and would ideally like something that perfoms as well as that ROM for her.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
Regards,

Hello,
Personally I prefer the CM7.
Very fast and very customizable.
CM7, no doubt.
Thanks guys,
Is that this one?

If not, could you post a link to then thread, just so I'm looking at the correct one.
Are there any known things that don't work in this ROM?

Here at xda yes, but there is a latest, 7.0.3.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20132-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-htc-wildfire-v703-5-may-2011/
Usually 1/2 days after geting out on the official website is created a thread here, but for some reason 7.0.3 did not.
Great, thanks man

Hey everyone,
I have bought myself a Galaxy S 2 which is brilliant and has taken over from my Desire as my main device, but this has led me to the question, is it worth rooting my Desire and playing with custom roms now I do not have to rely on it as my main device?
It is on Orange, android 2.2, and if I mess it up, I suppose I could just drop it in a pool of water and return it on insurance lol
Reason I ask is because all the rooting threads confuse the crap out of me, but I have always been interested in messing around and seeing just what this phone is capable of or just what could be done to speed it up or have it looking super cool with new user experience.
I suppose the main question is, can you customise the phone to the same level without rooting and custom roms, and is it really that much better when rooted?
Any opinions are very welcome.
Also, it is an SLCD, orange branded but network unlocked using the CD method I found on the forums. Is there anything I need to know about my phone, before I root, if I decide to root.
Anyway, thanks for any and all opinions or help on this.
Biffy.
Root and s-off if you want to be able to to anything.
After that you have to chose the rom ... The most difficult !
I currently use LeeDroiD 3.0.8.2 (GB + sense) in A2SD+ version. Fast, stable and enough features inside for me.
to me installing custom rom is more because of curiousity. I learned quite a lot because of this custom roms thingie, since i was too worried to try it and done a LOT of reading here and there. until now, lol
Thanks for the replies So do you guys think that the custom roms improve the phone? If not improve, is it fun again playing with the phone when you've installed a rom?
I'd love to install something with a new version of sense to see what it's like, as playing with the Desire HD in a shop, it seemed really good.
Anyway cheers for the replies I'm gonna read more about rooting..
Cheers.
I was also worried in the beginning but I read all the tutorials on forum and it is very easy to put custom ROM. Also I'm using 2.1+3.0 sense and it is very nice + ROM is fast and stable
start from here

Brilliant Thanks I'll take a look there as that sounds perfect
Biff.
Just done Unrevolked and phone is in ClockworkMod Recovery now, seems it is rooted lol.
I will leave it there and read more see what else I can do or what my next step is...
Ok, i'm getting excited now, as i've rooted and S-Off'd my phone now, and have gparted ready to sort out the SDCARD
This is where i'm stuck as I don't know which ROM to use, although I believe a gingersense (If I can convince myself I don't want to use camera?) or a HD Rom would be best for me to try.
I think the AOSP? Stock android roms are a little .. shall we say .. ugly, and the MIUI (iphoneish) ones are too iphoney.
So what do you guys reckon are the best gingersense or HD roms about?
Cheers for all the posts and suggestions, it's going well I think
Biff.
I'm using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113070
it's fast and stable, cheers
Awesome, that one looks great i'll see if I can get it installed later.
Tried to install Cyanogenmod 7 CM1 through ROM manager, but I am getting what I believe is referred to in the trade as a boot loop lol
Will have a play to sort it out

that is a good place to start - although some of the links are incorrect and I think some are in the wrong categories which is a shame
lothaen, thanks i gave it a go, i have come to the conclusion that i hate sense, i love the way it looks and the customization, but when you get down to the nitty gritty things, i hate it lol
I like sense - but thats just my opnion
fair enough, i want to like it tho

Same with me.
Tried leedroid, oxygen, cm6, cm7, various HD ports and settled down to miui.us 1.7.22.

I love sense and I will go back to it at some point, waiting on Droidzone to update his gingerburst RoM. But at the moment am using MIUI data2ext and its bloody great, love everything about it, at first it looks abit iphoney but you can download alot of themes and change the look.
So try MIUI
No Sense no HTC. If you want no sense buy SG2
And BTW LeeDroid rox
Cool AceS Mix v2,very fast
but no chinese touch input
Beso your hardcore mate, if i can get a sgs2 for £150 of ebay i would mate, but to be honest i hate samsung stuff so it'd be an opx2 for me mate
actually i have tried the 2 hd senses, they feel very laggy to me, is the normal senses a bit faster, i might give them a go, just to spice things up, but even tho i hate apple stuff, i love the miui rom, so classy, i might find a sense rom for backup for when i have an urge for it
The only thing why I would consider miui is auto brightness which works fcuking awesome with it. Otherwise, I'm sticking to my Sense integration wrapped in my LauncherPro theme
im downloading leedroid 3.0.8.2, not the hd one, i'll give it a try, what would you say is the best sense rom? non hd? iv come from having a wildfire,blade and pulse, one thing i will say is that the dev community for the desire is amazing, so many devs, roms, kernels, the works, we are very lucky to be spoilt and have so much to choose from.

Can you Please Post Questions in the Q&A forum Thanks
Moving to Q&A
the first rom i installed was gingervillain 2.0
ive tried several roms, coming and going between them, they all had advantages/disadvantages. but i always keep ending up installing gingervillain. its does everything i need, its quick, it's sense-less (personally dont like it) and as yet, i dont think ive encountered a bug with it.
now running gingervillain 2.7
Redux 1.2, awesomely fast! original android 2.3 without sense or any other big additions. Clean and stable! no bugs so far!

Huh? Sense may be an HTC ui but its not like a Desire wont work without it! In fact it works better without it, have you seen the aosp ROMs out there?

All sense ROMs are a little bit laggy as they kinda bog down the OS.. if you want a very fast and stable ROM, try an aosp ROM like CyanogenMod7.. its awesome! I've heard Oxygen is also very good, its what I'll be trying next

Hey XDA ,
This is my first Post here , Pardon me if I sound noobish (I'm a noob but I learn fast and I'm on my way of becoming an electrical enigeneer)!
I have an HTC Wildfire , rooted using the method in this thread a few months ago
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
I'm Currently on CM 7.1.0.1 , and I have CWM 5.0.2.0 flashed
I went through a few versions of CM7 and this is the one that satisfies me the most.
However , I want to go back to Stock Froyo , basically because I want more stability and I think It'd be nice to have sense back (And I think the GPS is not working but It's not too important for me) , and I thought , I already have the phone rooted so I can install custom kernels , OC , ... , while still having the stock ROM .
I heard that going back to Froyo would make me "Lose" the Rooting .
First of all , What does this mean ? and is there a way of doing it without "Loosing " Root or Bricking the phone ?
If not , please recommend the best Sense ROM available that could be as good as CM7 with minimal known bugs (would appreciate download links).
One last thing (Don't know if it's relevant) , I partitioned my SD and it's working great using the Link2SD App , Is my SD still a GoldCard?
I went through the forums and couldn't find an answer , And again , sorry for sounding like a noob and thanks in advance !
Hey pal your best bet is to run a custom froyo sense rom that will keep root and work with your Sdcard partition. I suggest rem puzzle as its fast stable with app2sd and GPS working. Something to note, when you install it it will reboot a few times and take up to 15 minutes. Its normal, don't panic

Right now, your best bet for speed and stability would be RemPuzzle.
Gingerbread Sense Tom's like KoolSense work, but they're a bit slow.

ahhh why go back to stock Sense Rom, trust me, its become a habit for me to change roms like socks! therz so many to chose from mate. and yes i must admit stability is a huge factor in choosing a rom. my major issue with sense is the lack of over clocking. I tried kwbr rom, its sense alright, with beats audio but no overclocking ability, any way I use CM 7.2 RC3 for everyday use, its super stable and fast. i use go launcher as my everyday launcher as well, but its all a matter of taste in what you like, here is a link to the various roms available to our dear wildfire

You can overclock sense based roms. Rempuzzle has an overclockable kernal included. For kwbr you will have to flash a different kernal.
