coolexe has an alignment script that will convert ext3 -> ext4 just before flashing

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

Hi what are the main differences between androdomus ICS and virtous quattro ICS?
Which of these is better?
Yes there are differences.
Difficult to say wich one is the best, because there are not enought advanced to see.
Virtuous team add always a lot of tweaks and personalization, but there are still some graphical bugs witch are annoying...
At this day, I would advise you to go to A9 until...
Says someone on Quattro and witch LOOOOVES it . Where is the logic?
Quattro has a lot less passive update schedule as opposed to Andromadus. If you don't want to flash new versions all the time I'd suggest you stay away from Quattro.
In fact, you should stay away from ICS altogether till there's a final version and all the quirks have been figured out.
Can we hope for official version of ICS?
I have no problem to flash any update.
Which rom is more stable?
As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.
I'd say that both versions are equally stable (though I haven't tried andromadus v9 yet). However quattro is currently plagued with very annoying graphical glitches as far as the launcher is concerned. It doesn't seem to impact performance and can be fixed easily, but still.
As far as I know, we have not yet been officially denied an upgrade to ICS, but it is probably not going to happen.

Nevermid what a pity.
Maybe in the next quattro's version this issue with graphical glitches will be repaired...!Im waiting for it
You can install the RC now.
Upgrading just take 10 minutes and no wipe data needed (just dalvik cache).

And I wouldn't use htcdev to unlock your phone, use the Wiki for Htc Vision as your starting point, In addition to you voiding your warranty,the official unlocking seems problematic and you still cant' flash another radio.
ebreo: you should try both for yourself and decide. but a warning. if camera is of great importance to you then you should stay away from ICS for now. The camera is not great and very unreliable. Dont trust is to take pics of your childs first steps. But that is what you get when you deal with betas. At least there is a camera. And no matter what you should keep a working GB rom on your sd card. just incase ICS for fubar on your phone you can atleast flash a GB rom and have a working phone.
bombadier: Love the pic. Bubbles was awesome. Wish that tv series was still on.
@bombadier can you share me a link with how can i root and install cwm on my desire z?

WIKI for HTC Vision This is "the" guide to follow, may seem complicated at first but take your time and read over it a few times plenty help to be found in the forums,best of luck bud.
i would say i will go for Quattro, for its virtuos oc/uv, and other tweaks, i have tried rc1 and rc2 versions.
No homescreen redraws. Had that issue with quattro for a while. Got annoying

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.

Okay mate,then you should go with Rempuzzle Rom,its fast and stable at the same time and its quite beautiful as well.

Here is CM9 for the Wildfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473344
I have just installed it and it's beatiful!
It works pretty fast and there are not so much bugs, so I think I'm going to use it as my main ROM
Since wildfire stock is sense rom. Then I would think you should try rom other than sense first. May be CM7 (Gingerbread) and CM9 (ICS) rom. If you still like to stick to sense rom then try Rempuzzle, Froyo rom with partial sense 4 skin.
thanks for the link ) i dont know willbi try it right now,but i will follow this thread until i see the few bugs fixed.. for now the 7.2 is working great for me.. one thing that i would love to have is either a miui or cm9 rom.. but we will see..
i have one more question,its off topic ,but how can i make my statusbar transparent?

Everyone's list of necessary features is different, so "fully working" means different things to everyone. For example, I rarely use my camera, but for some that's a deal breaker. The only way to answer your question is to try them. There are lists of bugs in the OPs of ROM threads in the development forum, along with a sticky index of all of the ROMs.

Iv'e been running Blackout ISC Incredible v.3.1.0 for a few days. but it's Sence 3.6
I've been running sabsa since 3.0 version, it's the fastest and most stable rom that I've tried running on ICS, I suggest you to try it. Do a nandroid backup so eventually you can easily go back to gb.
