Hello, I have a US Cellular CMDA desire so I am hoping some of you guys could please suggest some good Roms for it, I have had CM7 on it for about a year now which is fine, however recently for whatever reason a lot of my apps crash constantly thus I need to perform a clean install, so since I must go through the trouble of installing a rom again anyway, I would really like to put at least ICS onto it and preferably JB but almost all roms are made for the GSM desire which is not only quite annoying but also saddens me as I cannot load a lot of the cool roms out there onto it, thus any suggestions are very much appreciated.
Although if someone could also explain the shortage of them that would be nice.. because there are a fair number of these phones..
Oh and one last thing, can you possibly make any rom into a CMDA rom? using a script or something?
sorry for the paragraph and Thanks in advance for the help.

Cool, I'll try and play with this sometime tomorrow. (edit: or later today I should say..) Thanks
well I dunno... so far I've tried 3 or 4 JB roms and the most I got out of it was a boot animation and yes I waited long enough to see if it would boot I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened, I suppose I'll try some ICS roms before I give up though.

Ha, thats funny, because about a year ago when I was looking for roms to put on this phone that was one of the first ICS roms I remember seeing and I actually got it to run and everything, I loved it too, although for some reason I didn't keep it I'm guessing because I had even less space than with stock or it could've just broke, I would say the first one though, (Edit: actually I think it was because something like the camera didn't work but whatever) but alrighty I'll give it another go and see about installing an apps2sd+ or int2sd script.

Yea it was one of the first ROMs I used back when I was a complete noob. I remember it was pretty stable and I stayed with it for a long time, but that might've just been cause I was too scared to switch ROMs

OH YES this plus that fix you posted totally worked, really fast too it only took about 1 - 2 minutes when I started it up to boot, well this is gonna be fun!
I got a tip on that fix thread about it working with 4.2.2 and looked at what rom he had and sure enough it worked. (although before I didn't do a full wipe as I did with this as well but hey it works)

well one more thing, I'm having this weird sd card issue where it isn't mounted on my phone, but heres the weird thing, I can use in my computer fine and I was even able to use it to install the rom but booted up I can't use it (note: this also was happening before I did anything and was running the stock rom) any ideas? I have already tried reformatting it again in windows as well, its not a big deal for me as I have a couple more cards, but I prefer to not use em if I don't have to, although seems like I will.

well I tried your rom and it sorta works.... it seemed to boot but.. the screen is black so I can't use it, although I guess something is wrong with my phone anyway, as some people have used that cmda fix and had success with multiple roms yet I can only get that one to work on it so I dunno whats going on with that... oh well one is better than none I suppose. (and I'm guessing asking for bulit in cmda support would be out of the question )
This wouldn't be because of the Hboot would it? the revolutionary hboot for cmda phones, I wouldn't think so since other users have it.

Don't.. it's quite terrible really. I'm not seeing anything special over stock Android. I don't see any of those neat features shown in the screenshots.
So either this dump isn't a real dump of the shipping phone or I'm not looking in the right places.
I've got 3G working and most everything else working, but am having serious gfx issues making the ROM unusable.
I'm not really terribly interested in Meizu M9 but was bored and up for a challenge. If I can't get it working fully tonight, I'll post what I have and someone else can takeover.

No idea, I wasn't impressed months ago when they announced it. Only reason I am doing this is because I figured it would be pretty easy to do. I was partly right.
I'm not sure what is really going on with the gfx.. but there is a new M9 firmware released a few days ago.
http://www.meizume.com/meizu-m9-firmware/12641-meizu-m9-firmware-v1-0-2-14504-a.html
Gonna try using that to see if it's any better and if not, just release as-is cuz I'm kinda over it.
Graphics issues are fixed... I should be able to release this sometime tonight once I fix up a few other issues and update it to the latest m9 release.

There is no all-purpose porting method. Sure some things work on most AOSP roms (kernel, drivers, etc.) but every ROM is different and it really just comes down to experience and troubleshooting skill.
Hi everyone, my girlfriend has a Desire on Telus and she keeps getting low space warning. I poked around through Astro but couldn't find anything to delete. She has all apps installed to SD that support it. Is this just product of the environment, small internal memory?
I'm sure there is a way to cure this with a little hackery, and if it were mine it would be no problem but she is weary of that sort of thing.
Any suggestions would be great. Maybe an app for managing space more suited for these phones.
Thanks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
unfortunately that's the problem with the desire.
you'll need to update to a rom that supports apps2sd+ or data2sd which essentially lets the phone use part of your sd card as internal memory
That's the impression I was getting looking at the custom ROMs. Thanks anyway.

Starburst is android 2.2 or the same dev has supernova android 2.3
The choice is your's am using 2.3 and have 2GB internal memory, have lots off app's and still 1.2GB left.
Small internal memory is a known desire problem. Data2sd will solve your girlfriend's storage problems. Imho starburst, supernova and miui (d2ext x-part version) are recommended. You could also change partition layout (hboot), but this is much riskier than flashing one of the named roms.
Thanks for the suggestions guys! If it were mine it would already be done, but it's not. I will talk to her and see if I can convince her.
How sensitive is the Desire to flashing? Are there any major issues I should read up on first? Of course I will do some homework but a heads up would be great.
Thanks again, I'll check back often.

Root using unrevoked3 http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
And flashing RoMs is very safe, has long has you do a nand backup, this just like installing windows.
For 2.3 RoM a new radio is recommended this is risky, but ive had no problem's and ive updated radio 4 time's.
They is load's of topics for first timer's on here just have a good read.

The problem with that not all the file is moved, like app2sd+ 20mb file 15mb to sd 5 still on internal, you'll soon use that 150mb.
Thanks so much guys for the information and suggestions. She is debating the matter so in the meantime I'll have to do some serious studying on flashing this phone. It is much more complicated than flashing the Galaxy S.
She should have took my advice and got a Desire HD after her first Desire was stolen.

rooting sounds really scary but is actually very simple, you just need to post what your current hboot setup is, from powered off press vol down and press power. let us no what your hboot version is. because if its the new 1.06 there is no way to root yet.

Hi guys, been quite a while since I started this thread but finally this past weekend had the time to get started on fixing the wife's Desire.
Got it rooted with unrevoked after much frustration. I finally found a post that recommend uninstalling a few apps to stop getting the failure error and it worked like a charm. Not before I read another post that recommend using linux because of issues with win 64 bit. I happened to have a copy of zorin os on my desk so I now have that to play with when I get home on Friday. :-D

It really depends on how many apps you plan on having. I would think 512 would be more than enough though. I have 1gb partitioned on my 16gb card and I barely fill it up.

I've been wondering how is the latest cyanogenmod 7.2 performing on the Desire. Are there any kernel changes since 7.1? I'm a sucker for Oxygen, considering switching to cyanogenmod though. Not really sure what the REAL differences are (aside from some crap apps they put in CM so I can remove them right away) between these two?
Last time I used it, pretty good. Stable above anything else. Not nearly fast as oxygen though.
I kinda like the cm toys, wish I had some of them available with oxygen
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA
I use the latest RC of CM7.2 and it's a good experience. Not very different from CM 7.1, but might be much more stable than oxygen. The only time i used oxygen was with Mildwild, but this ROM was crashing like hell, so CM might be much more stable (except when using the inbuilt rights management).

I flashed it into a new inspire, and all I can report right now is success. No bug yet. Thing I've noticed is that my RAM's gone down to about 575. I'd really fancy accounting the rest of it. I'm kinda new to custom rom though (took me like 3 days from zero to perform the flash with AAHK).

You're on wrong forums mate.
Mine is performing quite well. Actually I haven't found much difference between the 7.1 and 7.2 either.
It is still very fast
Everything seems to be running smooth for my Desire as well.
Only issue I have, and it is not a new experience for me with CM, is that my in call volume is significantly lower than it is in the stock Froyo ROM from USCellular.
I can deal with it, but it makes phone calls a pain to hear in most cases.
Looking for a fix now.

With 7.2.0 i was loosing connectivity with mobile network, the phone showed no service message. When i have upgrade to 7.2.0.1 this problem was gone, but the whole system felt very slow and laggy. Even scrolling applications list was laggy, so i decided to not continue my story with Cyanogenmod and switch to anything else.

I upgrade my Desire BravoC to 7.2.0 from 7.1.0 and had to go back because it was contently rebooting every time I tried to install or update any of my software. The only reason I wanted 7.2.0 was because after awhile my phone shows up as not being compatible with certain apps in the market, the funniest thing is that it shows this for apps that I have already installed.
I can't comment on the network problems others are having, just because my wouldn't stay on long enough to test it.
Hey all- I just downgraded my firmware on my replacement phone so I can s-off and root. The downgrade went fine. When I run revolutionary and enter the beta key I keep getting "invalid beta key" I have triple checked the serial number and I have tried 0 instead of O, etc. I finally stopped after a couple dozen attempts. Can anyone suggest a fix here?

Copy and paste the beta key into Ms word or another program so you can change the font. You have to type it exactly as they have it and their font sucks for that.

Thanks. Good tip but that is what I did. I pasted it into a text editor and then manually typed the characters on the line below to verify they matched. I will go back today and try again. At this point all I have managed to do is downgrade my firmware and lose 2 months worth of configuration and tweaking.
Problem solved. Contacted Revolutionary team via their chat space. I did not know how to cut and paste in a windows cmd window. I was provided with this MS link http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_dos_copy.mspx?mfr=true and that did the deed.
Now I can move onto flashing a ROM. I was told there is a good and stable ICS ROM for us so I will hunt that down now. Any suggestions will be welcome.

Thank you. I will check them out.
On second thought, I remember reading a press release a couple three months back from Verizon giving the devices OTA schedule for ICS. DINC 2 was listed for late July. Maybe I should just wait a bit for the devs to get their brains on it.

I wouldn't wait, the developers here got ics running almost flawlessly, and jb is already being worked on. I have such a hard time staying on one rom b/c their all so good, I can bounce between condemned's, ukb, or cm9. I'd say flash away and whenever we do get the official ics updates, everyone will be on jelly bean or something newer

Don't wait. Just jump right in! If you don't like what you find, there are plenty of GB roms that are rock solid.
If you go UKB, I recommend X. V is a bit laggy for me. Of course, your challenge is going to be reading through 800+ pages of posts!
Have fun chasing the dragon!

Okay, twist my arm. I will flash one. I absolutely loved the last ICS ROM I had on my dinc1. It was Abducted. Do you know if any are similiar to that?

Thanks. I was looking at UKB yesterday and was wondering about V vs X.
Also, X is closer to full sense 4, whereas V is 4a.

I can't get wifi tethering working on UKB. Tried 3 versions of wifi tether beta and barnacle. WIFI tether is a must have for me. Any other recommendations for a good ICS ROM?.I like to use Apex launcher and I like the folder and notification interface in ICS.

Barnacle fails on first try, but should work flawlessly after that.
Kangdemnation is awesome.
You could also try aero's cm9 build.
If you're looking for sense, ukb is top. Unless you go back to gb.

I'm running UKB-X. Barnacle Just keeps failing for me. I have installed and uninstalled several times and started and restarted at least a dozen. When I first run it gives a failure notice and asks to install wpa supplicant. After that it runs but my tablet will not connect.
I use Apex launcher so I don't really need the Sense widgets anyway. I love the ICS folder and notification handling. I ran CM7 on my dinc1 for awhile and liked it a lot. I'm considering CM9, Kangemnation, or MIUI ICS next. I'm leaning toward Kangemnation on yours and another recommendation. Think I will flash it as soon as I run a nandroid now.
Thanks.
Let us know how it runs.

Well the install with my newly installed 4EXT went without a hitch. I don't understand the Google backup. When I installed UKB it put back most of my apps. This time it only put back 2. It is generally inconsistent for me. I believe if you make sure your hardware ID is different you can disable the option to clear the backup and then clear the cached data on your SD card. Then if you reflash the rom and enable the restore it will start fresh and put back all or most of your apps. Anyway, since I have a Titanium backup it is better because I can selectively restore a batch with all the my user data (no system apps!)
The big thing for me was getting wifi tethering (using it to post this on my tablet now). I could not get it with UKB using any 3rd party apps. With Kangdemnation the resident hotspot app works fine.
I have tethering and the ICS sweetness. So far I am a happy camper!
Nice!

I am really liking this ROM. It has all the features i like from other ROMs. My Quadrant score is very good also.
Thanks guys for steering me here.
