You probably flashed the data ++ version. Download the one meant for stock hboot and flash that instead if you want to have all stock android apps

What does data++ and hboot mean? I was just trying to find a fast new rom and use my ext partition on sd card for additional memory.
Btw where can i find terminology explanations that people use here?

Google Alpharev.
Data++ is a hboot (180mb system i think)
I think chromium is saying that u flashed the version to fit in data++ hboot so that means some apps were removed from the rom to make it smaller. So flash the version for stock hboot (250mb system) and ul have all the apps.

Can you please navigate me to new vj rom that comes with stock htc apps? Or a better rom for my needs?

Its in the same thread where u got the data++ version. Just dowload the "stock hboot with gapps" version

Can I install my Apps on SD without any modified rom?

hi everybody! I try various Rom for this phone but I realise I cannot live without sense and the the most stable and fastest Rom with sense I've ever try is the stock Rom only... but it has only one problem... the Apps space... can I install a script like a2sd+ or data2ext directly on the stock Rom rooted?

Leedroid or the pre rooted stock rom are not stable for you?

I'd like to stay with the stock Rom applying only the mod I want... I want to do this way also to learning how apply script or mod. is it possible?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Yes, search for init.d or the htc kitchen.

If you have the android sdk installed on your computer and you are familiar with adb,
pm ModInstallLocation 2
will set the sd card as the default install location.
I stick to sence to matter what the ROM i'm using.. I'm on Leedriod now .. very stable, wonderful... and I have not " cut up" the SD card .. only got a 8GB card ... ( class 6 ) mainly down to cost ... but I have loads of room free.. with this fix as well .. be careful.. widgets etc .. that you use at start up .. must be on the phone

[Q] Best Rom with D2ext

Hi guys,
I am using Insertcoin 1.0.3, but my memory keeps getting full. I have a lot of apps I use and it seems that I can't install any apps anymore.
I am S-OFF and use the cm HBOOT.
Which Rom could you guys suggest with d2ext. I know how to set up partitions etc. but I don't know which rom is good for d2ext. maybe Miui or other ones. I prefer 2.3.4. roms.

[Q] HiApk sensefun GSv1.1[Android2.3.3/Sense2.1+3.0]No Partition

i love this rom but i need more internal space for apps. what can i do?
maybe i can flash the rom in the external memory? i have 8gb sd
No that wouldn't work
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
so there is no solution? what rom do you have? is it like mine? i can flash yours if its better
Have a look in the Desire Android Development section and pick a rom that suits your needs. Many come with a2sd+ / data++ / data2sd, which will take care of your internal storage issue.

i cant find a tutorial for flashing and partitioning. all the tutorials say about simple flashing. also i think there is no rom with sense 3.0 or 3.5 that fully works. it usually have problems with camera. if someone knows a good rom please let me know.
Check out this guide.. Is about as simple as it gets.. If you can read you can do it

Custom rom help

I am a new user of the HTC DHD, i wanna know if there is any rom that has the least bugs and good battery as i am on the official 2.3.5 android and the battery life is making me wana die, i need my wifi all the time so please suggest a rom which has no problem with wifi and app running
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Which rom do you currently use ? the stock one ?
If so, Sense consumes a bit more battery than AOSP roms.
I used to have Cyanogenmod 7.2 with LordModUE 8.9b7 kernel. And it is very very good.
That's for GB roms.
Both JellyTime and IceColdSandwhich roms are good too (but still in beta).
But Wifi is far from being cool with a battery ... Wifi is energy-greedy!!

If you wand the stock HTC look a recommend android revolution
If you wand better performances and battery life use AOSP(android open source project) or Cyanogenmod of AOKP(android open kang project)
Ice cold sand witch have verry good battery life (only bug is camcorder for wat I know)
Which one do u recommend? Aosp or aokp?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
Cyanogenmod 7.2 is rock stable !
Most of the GB rom are very stable too, and almost bug free.
You have to try each rom, Sense feeling ? Aosp one ?
I used SmartDroid for a long time and really enjoyed it.
Newer roms, 4.0 or 4.1 based are still buggy and lack some features but are already very fast and gives you the most recent android experience.
It's up to you to find the one that fits your needs.
One more point, updating your Radio can be good for your battery too.
I personnaly use 26.14.04.28_M without any issue. (but I may update it now, as I've just flashed Jelly time )
I think i'll go for the cyanogen 7.0, does it give a better battery life?
And btw what is "kernal" and which one should i use and how?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
And one mre question, if i flash a custom rom will i be able to get back to the stock htc firmware?

Go for 7.2 instead of 7.0
7.2 is the stable one for Desire HD: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=ace
A kernel is the core of the operating system. To extremely sum up, it deals with your hardware and your programs.
Installing a new one can give you some optimizations, better response, better battery etc.
I personally used the LordModUE kernels. Here is a direct link for the lastest version: http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download...ger-kernels/lordmodUEv8.9-CFS-b7-2WCR-TUN.zip
But be aware that to flash a kernel, you need to first boot with the kernel of the rom (here the CM one), then flash the new one.

First of all, and prior to flashing any rom, you need to perform a nandroid backup.
This is a backup of your current ROM, making an image of each partition, to be able to restore it later, in case of a crash or anything else.
Once you've rooted your phone, a recovery should be installed.
To perform a nandroid backup, you reboot into recovery and choose "backup".
Or, you can install Rom Manager from the market, and choose the same option.
Once this is done, and only after this, you're good to flash any rom you want !
Another method exits to reflash the stock rom, using RUU.
I won't explain this as you can find your answer on this forum.
EDIT: don't forget to check MD5 or SHA1 sum to check the ROM/kernel integrity you download.
I use camera a lot is there any jelly bean custom mod with a working camera cause I am now bored to look at the dame gingerbread is since past 1 yr almost....want some change....
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know, Jelly Time has a working stock camera app.
Actually, video recording in 720p is the only issue. Then, yes, I can take pictures with the stock app on Jelly Time ROM (currently beta 11).
If you want to record a video, you'll have either to change the resolution to 480p or use another app from the market (Videocam Illusion I believe, didn't test it though).
More information here.
The others JB based ROMs are currently too immature for now, and are not as stable as JellyTime.
Also, please be warn that you need to read the opening post (OP) carefully, the moderators are getting annoyed with all the same questions, which answers can be found in the OP.

Advance Ace Hack Kit - a tool developed by former xda member attn1 used to root, SIM Unlock & ENG S-OFF (ENG S-OFF allows you to flash custom ROM's without security checks e.g. md5 checks, bypassing restrictions placed by HTC on our device). He removed the link to it from the forums as he left xda due to personal reasons. Search attn1 ace hack kit on google to find it, as he hosts it on his website now

Yes your contacts, data and all personal data will be wiped upon flashing a new ROM, as flashing a ROM almost always requires you to wipe the data partitions. I reccomend you backup all of your data to avoid it. If your android and Sense version is android 2.3.5 and Sense version 3.0 then then you will have to downgrade your software version then attempt root

I think you won't find Desire on MIUI US. Try with MIUI GB if you need a good english based release:
http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-desire-gb.16551/
And, of course, cm7r2 compatible. I used it with a2sdx script.
There is US version for desire but it is in legacy device section.

as for the original question, does searching the relevant thread or google find the answer?
or better yet, solve it by logic: open the rom.zip with a file manager, check the system size, then pick your hboot with a (slightly) bigger system. method should work with any rom
