I'm getting a wildfire delivered on Weds, it's going to be network branded so I'm going to be de-branding.
I've been reading through the forums over the afternoon and have one question that I could do with other peoples input on.
I've decided that I'm going to load a custom ROM, I've read a lot of the guides and feel quite confident about the whole procedure, however I'm really stuck when it comes down to choosing a ROM.
I've looked through the other thread that lists the main differences, I'm just wondering what other users of these ROM's have to say about there chosen ROM.
I was originally thinking about using the Cyanogen ROM??? just wanted other peoples views/inputs on the various ROM's
Thanks.

Read this first, and look closely at the red marked text. Is that something you want? The big question is, do you want the HTC Sense look or do you want LauncherPro?
I'm using the latest Openfire with SetCpu, and my Wildfire is not gettin any faster than this. The downside with Openfire is that it doesn't have those 'important' HTC apps that you want. For example HTC Camera, HTC Flash and the HTC caller id app..

There is a small chance that I might flash WildPuzzle because of those missing apps.
As mentioned in my OP I have seen and read that thread.
I'm more looking for peoples views/reviews on how good/bad each ROM is when used on a day to day basis.
no caller id!!! need that to avoid those unwanted phone calls.
with the overclocked ROM do you see better performance when browsing etc?

Yeah I see a noticeable difference With proper settings in SetCPU, phone and launcherpro, the phone becomes noticeable fast
Thought I could use the same thread to post my questions, they've got the
same topic.
- How do I copy my current set of OS/rom or what you call it?
- Due to the fact I like the HTC sense but not the lag of the Wildfire
I thoght WildPuzzleROM could be pritty good. To overclock I guess it's "setcpu"
or somthing like that. Could you guys help me which one to pick and
what I should know about it.
If Im not totally of I guess I should first have to root it, then copy the old rom
and then simply change to the new Wildpuzzle rom.
- And last, is it possible to find swype for wildfire WITH english and swedish keyboard. Or atleast swedish (and åäö).
Thanks for all awnsers!
EDIT: kernal, which one. What is it, and so on..

hey guys,
just wondering what all the hype is going on at the moment?
regarding the official 2.2 release i mean.
"CM6 final" has been out i think since september (i think) and that's froyo 2.2, so what's the deal or difference to the official 2.2? why is everyone freaking out and posting roms if CM6 has been available for quite some time now and CM roms offer way more functions, etc?
i don't get it, please someone lemme know why the official release should be any better?!
thx,
v.

Because Cyanogen, although talented, is still a hacker making a hack. Official ROMs can take advantage of the hardware better than any hack any day.

@ first two posters: wow, very informative, thank you.
@ last poster: thx. ok that makes sense. still doubt it though that a stock rom can compete with an overclocked kernel running at 650+mhz, rooted, brutmaps for international navigation,... just to name very few functions that unofficial roms feature.
i'll definetely try an official version as soon as there is a reliable version. to see if it has any advantage. we'll see.

I've tried a few different roms, including CM5 and CM6, and nothing is as fast or as stable as my oem 1.6, rooted w/universal androot and overclocked to 528mhz.
If you're gonna compare, don't compare a modded version of the official rom, use the actual official rom.
alright, I need some help now:
there are a couple different releases in the development section and I don't understand which one is the actual official one. so far there are 4 versions (here are the thread starters):
bladyle
amazinglarry311
dasunsrule32
crios
would someone be kind enough to give a quick explanation (not in detail) what the differences are and what rom is the closest-to-official?
are they all just work arounds to make the OTA release work on all htc magics and the cookers are trying different approaches? one is changing something with the spl, one is using a CM6 rom, one is taking files from different roms and using adb commands to set everything up,...
I'd appreciate some help!
thx,

hey bro... just my opinion... latest cm nightly 219 is just as quick as the official ota... i was comparing it side by side... i still choose rooted or official any day, because of the extra goodies it offers...

I am learning to port rom to update my favorite build. It may contain bugs but I know Glacier fans cant wait anymore
- Based on the newest HTC Glacier/MyTouch4G v1.17.531.2 OTA update (Android 2.2.1)
- I kept this build as stock as possible like a HTC update, no modding, no new Gapps, have lot of bloatwares... you can tweak/fix what you want.
- I have modified the htcclockwidget based on cryshop's 3D X'mas Fancy widget skin and it look great with animation weather too.
- Added some Asia auto APNs
What's not working
htcCamera can take wide mode only

Thank you!

Build is multilang?
Thanks!!!!
Thanks! Will try it and report!
Looks good, booting as I type!!
yeah ...why not. Lets try it out
Hmm interesting always willing to try new things .
Downloading now. Will post results. Thanks!
how to make it multi-language?
Here is the new framework-res.apk to have the percentage battery icon.
Replace the file in /system/framework/framework-res.apk and reboot.
As always, backup your old framework-res.apk before updating
You can use rootexplorer or android commander to replace the file
Enjoy!

Great build, has been stable, battery drainage is acceptable.
Now, how can I remove the stock apps? most of them are non-functional apps anyways, like the wi-fi calling app (I would've loved if it worked :'S )
Been using this for about 3 hours. It seems slow to wake up from sleep, and a little slow going between calller menus. Otherwise I like it. Like above posted need to know how to get rid of unusable bloatware. Will try Astro or linda. I am using stock 3.14 rom with hard spl and 2.15 radio.
Updating the Kernel to the latest from MDJ and Hastarin does not break the camcorder and camera. Using Hastarin 8.6 right now and it doesn't seem to fix the wake up lag. It is better but still noticeable.
StrictlyPC
whats working and not working?
thank you sir.
can you tell me what you did do to the rom just so i know what's been done before i got a hold of it?

data issue
VERY GOOD ROM !
ONLY ISSUE, ONLY INTERNET WORHS WITH DATA, NO SYNC OR APPS USING INTERNET WORK !
HELP
Radion 2.15.50, Omega rom 16/12
Good build, But its very laggy, slow waking, Data is very unstable and freezes sometimes... hope to see future updates for this build!
Nocoast's unofficial insomnia nonsense. I named it aphasia because i feel like I have brain damage! This is probably the most stable rom I've released, but Ive only had a night to test it
Preface:I got a clenener (CLNR) and was pretty blown away at how fast the interface was with everything stock, so im going to carefully pick through every app from the 605.5 pull every sense element that doesnt have anything but BASIC utility, then replace with fede launcher. Ev3rything is running smoothly. So far no FC's. Please make sure to update your SU binary.
This is NOT a team liquid release, this is just something I whipped up tonight while we wait for LGS to finish up..
so while we wait for the next liquid release to come out, i figured id make something very simple and stable for the nonsense platform.Again. this is not a team liquid release. (if it were it'd have cooler mods lol) This is a team im an insomniac release and jdk told me to do something on gtalk release. Big thanks to HTC for the 605.5 base, thanks android police for hosting it. (I originally built this off a debloat but i wanted to be a freak tonight,,)
The notion behind this rom is that you get a very stable, lean, clean slate with which you can do whatever you like (for those of you who like the stability of a stock rom but can't stand rosie launcher, this is for YOU!)
So the features of this rom are
-removed and as many htc apps/modules as possible, while still keeping it functional (note the personalize button probably wont work)
-Liquid modded fedelauncher -credit to liquid (thank you!)
-IMO's 5.1 Kernel (thanks)
-605.5 base debloated (thanks HTC for the base!)
-deodexed/zipalligned all apps
-custom android boot animation
-Taskiller modifications (customized by myself) done in the kitchen (I think they turned out well...)
-Your choice of stock HTC keyboard, stock gingerbread keyboard, and ics keyboard is included iirc (i havent slept) in order to activate the keyboard just go to input settings and click it on (Credit to TeamLiquid)
-removed, peep, htc facebook, friendstream, basically everything htc
-AOSP MMS APK -FINALLY GOT IT LINKED WITH HTC PEOPLE APP. That means you can click a contact in htc and start an sms and it will open the aosp mms.apk! (believe it or not I killed myself getting this to work in the past and i still had no luck) credit liquid for the aosp mms.apk)
-I forgot to update the superuser binary, should have (one of, if not the) newest superuser apk but youll have to update the binary from within the app (im sorry, hope its not too much of an inconvenience)
if you run into any issues with apps regarding root MAKE SURE you update the su binary
-tons more I've forgotten.
-Since market auto installs all of my prior apps, I dont quite remember if im missing any credits. Credit to the dude who made ICS keyboard if it did wind up in this build aswell as credits to jrummy for rom toolbox (again, that mighta auto installed im fried) and credit to ChainsDD for Superuser
As usual big thanks go to Liquid, perhaps after I brand this and add some liquid tweaks this can be an official liquid release. For now though its just a fun beta I did tonight just to switch the pace up

The base began at about 470 megs, its down to 170. I could probably trim more fat and will but thats all I could get tonight, I rebuilt this thing quite a few times originally starting with DeTards' debloated base, but in the end I found it more stable to just use the stock and debloat myself...
please post any issues you guys have with this.

This is a [ Desire Kernel 3.0.8], hope can be ported to HD2.

^^Yeah I was always under the impression we need a 3.0 kernel (or major parts from it) for sense 4 to boot properly. That is what sbryan said back in the day when this (not this particular RUU but the ics sense 3.6 for the sensation) RUU first came to light. He said he would build us a ics 4 sense 4 kernel when he got the time but has not continued work on it that I know of.
Thanks for trying
Yes, we need a new kernel and driver..
Have you tried using tytung's ICS r1 kernel?
Tytung ' s ICS R1 kernel I have tested, the same problem
how did you port/build this (e.g kitchen or another method) .. i tried to port it from the sensation forums and got stuck constantly booted in clockwork recovery instead of boot animation... and couldnt get logcat to work
Hopefully this will lead to a great Sense 4 experience. Honestly Sense 3 and 3.5 are way better on HD2 than on Sensation for example!
Quoting myself here:
marc1706 said:
I think we'll have more issues like that since there is no kernel source code for the new sense 3.6 yet.
As far as I can see this is currently audio related though I'm not quite sure what the exact problem is. It is possible though that the audio libs are for qdsp6v2 chips and that won't work with the QSD8250 which our Leo is using.

As i was digging around, i was not quite happy with current ROMs available. (Dont get me wrong, all of the ROMs are freaking amazing, im just... a bit of a diva) I couldnt leave Sense 4 (or 3.6) without missing the camera and i cant leave ICS roms (or JB) without missing the stability and functionality.
Without further ado, i found a miui ROM with a sense 3.6 build (meaning that it has sense framework and has sense 3.6 camera) I do not see current further development on the rom but it is perfect for me. Everything works, everything i fluid (things are a little laggy for Apex launcher but Nova launcher works beautifully.) Here's the link for the thread i found it on:

The original thread is here: http://www.miui.com/thread-698365-1-1.html
(NOTE: I am only referring to the first link and the first one only!) The first version is the original, Chinese version. The second includes virtuous kernel (redone with a bit of their own tweaks to it) with other language fixes and what not. Have fun, im here to give the news

unable to see anything more than the other 3.6 rom? improvements, fluidity etc...
The ROM itself is very fluid and stable, it's not like it's bulky counter; part sense. It has the ics fluidity and sense apps. Can't say much more. The only sense app that I am aware of is the camera at the moment. Maybe you can install more because it has the framework? I dont know, i havn't tried. I'll update OP with pictures.

From what I can see, everything works! I don't notice any errors, or lag etc. OP is updated with original thread and its screenshots
UPDATE: I tried it and IIT WORKS! If you want any sense apps, then take it from a sense 3.6 ROM and move it into /system/app change the permissions accordingly and restart your phone. It should work without any trouble
I flashed version 2.9.21 and had random reboots. No way to reproduce them. The original forum says to disable "Phone Misuse in settings to avoid reboots and FC's". Of couse I did that, but still the same problem. Tried with stock rom kernel and beastmode...
Any ideas?

Jameslsmith fixed Wi-Fi issue in version 3.
Yea, he pretty much took over. Go to his forum from now on.
