hey!
Anyone have any good suggestions for a rom for HTC - Mytouch 4g? I am pretty much a n00b even though I manage to pull a complete ultimate true root and s=off lol.
i have the original tmobile stock rom though, is there a just Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 Vanilla rom for HTC mytouch 4g?!
I've seen EvilZ and Ice galicier , but I am not sure which one to go about .
Any (good) suggestions would really help!
thanks a bunch.

Search the dev section for nightly CM7, Its very vanilla-ish gingerbread and very stable btw, some pros?...improved battery life, open to customization, overall a better looking ui, runs silky smooth, and the kernel supports oc up to 1.5
Sent from my rooted glacier running CM7 and grankin's oc kernel
Thanks man!
but are those CM-7 nightly ones stable though?! I won't likely experience any SD-memory card errors, wifi not working , and etc *the usual problems* lol.
I would like to remain at 1 Ghz for now LOL. Just need a vanilla android version with tons of customizations though!
Also, since my phone is currently "ultimate perm true rooted + s=off " , I installd Rom Manager and did a Flash clockworkMod Recovery, only once though. Should I do it again? (twice)?
So, can you please tell me what is the true purpose of CWM? I know you can use it to recover, but recover what exactly and how is that possible?
Let's say I decide to get the CM-7 nightly version, what do I do need to do? (any specific guide) ive read general guides and I believe I did the right things lol.
Now with regarding flashing, it flashes the NAND chip right? :S So the apps i have installed and other tmobile junk will be lost? like it would be a complete full format process (similar to PC?)?
Thanks again! I appreciate it and I am looking through the thread and googling to learn .

1. Regarding how stable it is..its super stablr considering its still an alpha and i trust it enough to use it as my daily driver (i need 100% reliability and the phone has never let me down). Only known bugs are qik not working (and its a 2.3 compatibility issue rather than a rom issue) and you can use tango instead, ffc has a reverted x-axis effect xD..., mms might be blurry (which is fixed by changin the ua undr mms settings) and some may have other bugs i have not yet noticed
2. Your current 2.5 cwm will not work with gb, you will need to flash any 3.xxx version to install cm7. Cwm is designed to do backups of ur current working system and can be restored in the events of ur phone acting up (i.e bootloops or major issues...) although its also used to easily install .zip files (cm7 is a rom contained in .zip file and will need to be installes via recovery), its used also to wipe the system cache, dalvik cache and/or full wipes in the events of issues.
3. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916930#
Thats the nightly thread, you will have a "nightly" update you can flash thru recovery
4. If u go to cm7 you will have to (must) do a full wipe. Download titanium backup and back up ur existing apps and data (dont wanna lose ur angry birds progress), once cm7 is up just download tit bcup again and you'll have ur data back.
Hope this helped

one question at a time, bro.
1)the CM7 Nightlies are "Fairly" stable, though they do have bugs, as they are not fully complete (then again, no rom really is devoid of bugs and things to improve).
2)as for flashing CWM a second time, sometimes the recovery doesnt stick and when you boot into recovery, you will still go to the stock recovery. The second flash of CWM should fix this, and you should go to the CWM screen.
3) The purpose of CWM is to flash the various ROMs you'll find in the Development Section of this area. It also allows you to create nandroid backups, which will allow you to restore your phone to a specific state in time if something goes wrong or something (also helps to flash back to a rom without having to reinstall everything, which takes forever)
4)to flash a gingerbread (either CM7 or otherwise) you'll need to flash the CWM 3 to your phone manually, using the methods laid out in several threads in the Dev section. then you'll need to flash the rom, plus the Gapps for that rom (google apps like gmail, market, etc)
5)and yes, flashing a new rom will wipe all the data f(apps, accounts, call and text logs, etc) from the previous rom the previous (or youll need to do so before flashing). Now you see why you make nandroid backups also, using a backup application like titanium or MyBackup can make that process much simpler.
Arighty. I've been reading that CM-7 nightly thread for now!
I am excited now to flash it! Plus your suggestion and said it is the most vanillaish rom avaliable .
Okay, so I have Rom Manager Preimum that is 3.0.0.7 and since I flashed it currently, so CWM is 2.5.1.2 .
and I need CWM 3.x?
Regarding CWM 3.x? theres ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 and clockwork-3-20110116-MT4G.img .
Which one of the above CWM 3.x, is better to use? Also, they are in .img format, so how would I go about flashing it?
this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10670110&postcount=531
its using CWM 3.0.0.5 , is that a good method ?
And what happens to my current CWM 2.5.1.2? I already flashed it with that, do i need to "unflash" it ?
After that CWM, I use Titanium backup (i have pro version) to backup my apps + phone contacts right? I don't want to backup tmobile bloatware . I only the apps i paid for through android market.
And then, I download CM-7 and transfer it to my phone via usb cable to the sd card. Then use ROM Manager to flash it?!
thanks again!

Thank you bro!
I appreciate all that information and effort you put into it.
And yes, you are right. All roms have flaws, they all need to be worked out . But, this tmobile rom is just a bit annoying .
I posted a reply already, so I believe i know how to go about doing this CM-7 stuff...but just need to make sure I go the steps and necessary backup done.
thanks!
p.s. can you transfer phone contacts to simcard in this CM-7 rom? tombile has this option shut off for android 2.2 for G2 and MYT4G~! i know HTC Desire Z Bell's rom has the option to save contacts on the simcard, :S. Unless theres some other issue that i am not aware of it.

well, Im running a Desire HD port (gorillaSense), so my rom has that feature, but I havent used CM7 in a little while. However, if you sync your contacts to google instead of t-mobile, youll have all of them no matter what rom you use, no matter if it has t-mobile contacts or sim card contacts or anything.
and yeah, the t-mobile rom is annoying, thats why I got off it as soon as I could and never looked back. Personally I prefer the Sense ROMs, but I can see the merits of the CM and AOSP ROMs too, its personal preference.

K, so i checked the settings on the contact application and you can only export your stored contacts to the SD card, you are able to import from SIM but not to export to SIM. Like the post above stated though, as long as you are on an android phone you will have your contacts synced

You can find All Versions of Clockwork Mod Recoveries in ROM Manager. So if you having any problems with old Roms you can use CWM 2.5.
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script, it requires update-binary and updater-script. So there are many mods and themes available which will not work with CWM 3.0. If you know how to convert them into flashable Zips then you will be able to use it. But anyway you can always revert back to CWM 2.5.
Does nandroid backups made with CWM 2.5 work with this new version?
Restoring backups of 2.2 roms doesn't work for me. Only way I can get a 2.2 rom to boot is if I flash a fresh zip

Just use CWM 2.5 to restore backup of 2.2 Roms. It should be working fine, I tried on my DHD and I don't have any issues.
Awesome! Makes things easier when I want to flash CM7.
I was so glad to see this. I had the non-final version installed and it meant if I wanted to go back to Sense I had flash the 2.5.1.3 recovery first. Now with this being on the ROM manager I flashed the 2.5.1.3 then recovered Sense, flashed v3 recovery and backed up Sense. With that done I can go between it and CM7 or any other ROMs that allow far more easily.

True.. Makes my life more easier...
It would have beign nice if I knew this stuff about v3 yesterday...when I couldn't get back any recovery, and I was beginning to believe that is something wrong.with my SD card. But I don,t understand ,why, if is a NEW (and supposedly a better version) doesn't, support the back up made with v2.5 (I read about the .bin, and .zip file in a.upper post, but It's a little to technically for me and I dont understand how this will help me if I use CM7 and ruu 2.3).
And the question is, will v3 recover the backup made with v3 of my sense Rom,because I don,t wanna try again and if it.doesn't,t work ,I will wake up my self again in the orange menu of v3 and then I have to flash again a Rom, downgrade from Rom manager to v2.5 and restore an older backup
Neat!
CM7 official release is probably not to far away then!
Thanks...!
Argh, really, is it so hard to check for the fs during backup, and then restore it using the noted fs? Why the stupid split for ext3 on 2.5 and ext4 on 3 ? Especially since 3 has no problem reading ext3.

Obviously Koush feels it is, don't forget CWM is open source, if you feel the check of file system and appropriate restore / backup is a minor issue submit a patch implementing it for review and I am sure Koush will accept it with pleasure.
re flashed today everything is nice. Except one backup from older CWM is not recognized.
Thanks for the heads-up

I was using MIUI rom on my DHD and I wanted to restore a nandroid backup to return to Revolution HD, when I started Rom Manager, it told me there's an update to 3.0.x (Not 100% if it was 3.0.5 or something else), so I updated it.
Then when I tried to do a nandroid restore to my RevolutionHD backup, it went through the process properly, but it won't boot into the rom.
Can anyone help me out, please. I'm phoneless?

flash cwm 2.5.x from fastboot and reflash revolution
Hello,
a month before i flashed my HTC HD2 to a DFT Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM.
Softwareversions as i undestand them are the following
Magldr 1.13
Android 2.2
Baseband 15.38.50.07U_2.10.50.19_2
Kernel 2.6.32.15 by cotulla
BuildNo 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys
SoftwareNo. 2.29.405.5
Browser Webkit 3.1
I found the information to do this around in the internet. Knowing about XDA i decided to flash my Desire HD to Revolution HD. After having done the flash i found a lot more stuff around XDA and decided to flash my HD2 again to a newer mod.
Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod, but after installing ROM-Manager i wasn't and still am not able to install CWM. From the info shown in german, i would translate the following german text:"Bei der Ausführung von privilegierten Kommandos ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!" to "An error happened on execution of privilegised commands"
And now i'm stuck on this and don't know what to do. Afaik i would estimate this being a fault of SU which was installed with the ROM, but i really don't know it.
i would appreciate any help or hint.
Thx
Kai
Hi,
Unfortunately, ROM manager does not work with magldr...
If you want to use it ,you need to install cLK.Have a look at my sig...guide number 2
Did you buy CWM?("Having bought CWM i thought it would be easy to flash the HD2 to another mod,")
Should not have to pay for it.
All is in the guide..

No, you don't have to switch, the only difference is you manually enter cwm rather than the phone automatically entering cwm for you. just don't use rom manager. Read the cwm thread, in android nand development thread all info is there including free download links.( I'd be REALLY unhappy at whoever sold you cwm!, and in fact isn't it released under a freeware license? Making resale illegal?)

There is a free and paid version of ROM Manager in the Android market. The free version works good, but the paid version has added benefits of course, like installing from QR code, checjking for OTA ROM updates, aqnd more avaliable ROM downloads.

Hm. liking the way it works on Desire HD, is there a reason not to switch to clk and stay with magldr?
I would like to play with the HD2 as much as possible, so it would be really fine, if i was able to switch between roms as easy, as in Desire HD, working with rom-manager and CWM.

Hi,
For me I'm using magldr and I find it easy switching between ROMS,because I am used to it.I cannot vouch for clk ,because I have not tried it yet,but I'm told it is much more native to android,therefore more user friendly.
If I were you,stick with magldr for a while,then change to see the difference..

Yeah but with MAGLDR you have to boot into MAGLDR, then into CWM, then select to do a backup, then select to wipe your data your cachje and delvik cache, then go and select to flash your ROM. With cLK you install ROM Manager from the Android market then just open ROM manager and select "Install ROM from SD Card" then pick the ROM from SD card. Then a window opens in ROM Manager and you check the box to :"Backup Existing ROM", "Wipe Data and Cache", and "Wipe Delvik Cache". Then you tap ok and it automatically boots into CWM and executes all the commands then flashes the ROM and reboots the device when it is done flashing the ROM. Remember you did all the set up in Android itself. Plus ROM Manager has like a hole bunch of other options. You seee ROM Manager is a interface for CWM in Android. You can even use ROM manager to flash CWM, I just flashed to CWM version 3.1.0.0 tonight with it, and gues what that is because it told me it was a update avaliable for CWM when I opened ROM Manager. Not to mention the fact you do not have to worry about making CWM the right partition size anymore cuase cLK sets the partition sizes when you flash, it is like auto pilot. But the best of all you can actually turn your HD2 off and charge it using cLK, you don't get that with MAGLDR.

Hi,
So you can set the partition size in android?
Does that mean you can load a ROM without the use of a PC?

That looked quite strange to me. I had to choose right CWM first, before flashing the ROM. on my Desire HD i'm able to download the ROM with the DHD and afterwards flashing it directly from the SD-Card.
Yes, without using a PC. Dunno if it's possible like that on the LEO using CLK.
Bu i've got a Question about CLK. If using it, is it hard to switch back to a WinMobile ROM?
Switching back to winmo is the same for both magldr and clk,,,, flash your phones correct stock rom.
I can't add anything to the pros and cons of clk, I plain and simply can't get it to instal. I suspect its something left over from when I installed the android sdk and eclipse, followed by wp7 sdk , just can't get the command line to pass commands to the phone (required to initially set up clk)
Next time I clean reinstall my PC I'll try again, but till then magldr for me.(which is fine, I've always preferred doing stuff manually, automation takes the fun out of it for me)

From what I understand cLK sets the partition size when using it so you do not have to. I mean you can flash CWM via ROM Manager and it does not ask you what partition size you want, it just flashes it. Also you can download and flash a ROM just using ROM manager, you never have to touch a computer. Now granted the only ROM I see available right now is Hyperdriod and a Cyanogen Mod ROMs, but I am sure more will become available when more people switch to cLK and can use ROM Manager. Right now when I touch on Download ROM I see this.
Extras
Cool stuff (This gives me 2 choices for Superuser one says 2.3.6.1 cd and the other says 2.3.6.1 ef)
charansingh
Mods and Bacon for your phone ( I get 3 Cyanogen Mod choices 7.0.0, 7.0.0-RC4, and 7.0.0-RC2)

Hey San have you tryied adding the directory to your "Enviroment Variables" on your computer. This will allow you to open a command prompt up that is in the directory you need to get CWM flashed. Click on my guide and scroll down to post#3 where I expain how to flash CWM with cLK and I give full details.
Hello, my fellow XDAs.
Based on this guide, i wanted to give cLK a go, because "it makes my device like a native android device" (please correct me if I'm wrong).
So my problem is, I already got a good, working NAND Build (RafDroid HD 4.0.2), flashed with MAGLDR and CWM. And now I don't know, how much I can "damage" with an installation of cLK. As far as I know, cLK just replaces MAGLDR (also, please correct me if I think wrong).
Will I be able to boot normally in my NAND? Or do I have to re-flash CWM?
Just a little confused...
Greetings

cLK is managing partitioning unlike in MAGLDR that is managed by DAF installer.
You will have to reflash everything but you can also restore with CWM.
So...
Make a backup
Task 29 (to be sure)
Flash cLK
Flash CWM
Flash ROM for cLK
Restore backup
Thank you, kind sir
one last question: the rom has to specificly for cLK, right?

Yes the ROM has to be for cLK. It is a couple of ROMs that will work with both cLK and MAGLDR. But most have to seperate versionscause it is aslight difference in the kernel but hou can make any AndroidROM work with cLK. Check the last post of mime on the last page of my guide you are using it has a zip file from the cLK tgread that is suppose to do this. Or PM zach.antre he can help you make any ROM compatible with cLK.
Oh, thank you, will work through that asap!
Edit: Sorry, I got another question. Will cLK make my phone somewhat faster/stable?

Hi,
I don't think clk will affect the speed or stability of your phone.
That is all down to the ROM you are using and the setup you have for it.
what does cwm mean?

CWM stands for Clockwork Mod Recovery. Some people call it CMR but it is the same thing. Click on my guide to find out what CWM is and what it does. the section on CWM starts in post #2.
So do you think, if I will change from RafDroid HD 4.0.2 to NexusHD2 Gingerbread 2.7, my setup would get faster?
I mean, I like my ROM, but the more and more upcoming lags are annoying and the battery life is just not really acceptable.
So, would this be an alternative for me?

Hi,
You can only try it see what happens.
I see you're using the latest imilka rom (sense gingerbread).
Is it any good?
Everything working fine for you?

I like it ,but it's not perfect and there issues.
I need sense,and I prefer sense 2.1 and 3.0.
That is only my opinion.
I like Sense too (one reason why i bought the HD2). I hope, I will make it without.
In case, I'm totally confused, I have backups. Lots of them.
But before re-flashing a backup, I have to re-flash the connected partition-file, right?

Ok,
Before I suggest anything ,I need to know what you have done up to now...
Did you follow zach.antre and do this?
So...
Make a backup
Task 29 (to be sure)
Flash cLK
Flash CWM
Flash ROM for cLK
Restore backup
What ROM would you like to install?
So here is what i did so far:
Backup via CWM.
Backed up Apps with Titanium Backup Pro.
(I read Task29 could be skipped, so I checked this on my todo-list)
Aaaaand I decided against cLK because I didn't find any advantages of it for me.
And I am flashing CWM Partition file now. (NexusHD2 Gingerbread 2.7).
ROM is next.
MAYBE I will restore the Apps, but I'm not sure, wanted to have a clean install.
Are there problems with this?

Yes,should be ok.
So, no you get a thank.
Kind Sir.
For your knowledge...
In most cases every ROM Dev is offering the proper files needed or gives info of what partition table need to be etc.
In your case for NexusHD2 v2.7 Tytung is providing the cLK 1.4 with partition System:135M and Cache:2M, the rest space goes for Data.
The CWM backup provides you the following files
.android_secure.img
boot.img (kernel and initrd)
cache.img
data.img (all your apps, setting, contacts, messages etc)
nandroid.md5
recovery.img (ClockWorkMod Recovery)
system.img (The Android system)
Which is actually everything that your phone has exept your SD files.
When you install a new ROM which is same Base version (Gingerbread or Froyo etc) you only need to restore (advance restore) data.img, nothing else.
Titanium backup is doing exactly the same job but also make sure your restored backup will work without a problem.
If you wipe everything and want to restore the previous version you had, you just need to restore in CWM boot.img, system.img and data.img
System.img is actually the space you need in system partition.
If for example you have deleted some system apps, such as tweeter, facebook etc, and your system.img is 119MB then you need a cLK with 120M system partitioning.
You will see different cache sizes because many ROM devs are linking cache to data so actually elliminate the need of cache partition.
I hope I have helped!
Hello.
After a long time, i want to give a try to another ROM in my phone. However, i have a few questions as the phone wasn't "made" by me.
I bought the phone and it came already with Froyo with Sense installed (Although in hardware info it says it is an HTC Desire.) but very stable
Finally with HTC Super tool i rooted the phone. Everythings seems ok with root checkers and titanium backup.
Now. The phone starts android using MAGLDR, it even had a nice splash screen that sayd android HD2 and after the dark forces splash screen. With this, the ROM is in the phone memory right? Can i load a rom from the SD card and keep Froyo in the phone in case something is wrong? Should i wipe entirely and depend on the backups if something goes wrong?
I'm interested in trying CM7 and MUIU. Should i learn about clk?
any other advice? This will be my first flashing and i really find Froyo very stable, but having this device and not trying something else seems like a waste.
Last in priority... if i would be interesting in trying also WP7 Mango, but keeping Android as my main OS, what are steps to go? need to partition my card or make important decisions before?
Thanks for all the help!
in order to flash mango you have to wipe android from nand.
you can run an android sd build without wiping the present nand build. you can try 3dak's miui rom in sd android section.
if you want to run your hd2 in maximum performance i recommend using hyperdroid cm7 rom in nand android section.
Hi
If your HD2 had Froyo installed, it was more than probably already rooted when you received it
Installing a ROM on your SD card is safe and won't break anything in your phone's memory as long as you follow the installation procedure of your ROM carefully. Make sure that you pick up a ROM in the HD2 Android SD Development forum
Ok. so WP7 will be a no for the moment.
will try then some sd card methods and roms.
Once i find one that i like, i should move it to nand right?
I thought the phone would be rooted since the beggining also, as it even had SU installed, but after trying to use titanium, SU itself, terminal and rootchecker everything said it wasn't. Thought it was funny. Now everything works.
Will pass by SD forum then.
Thanks!
If you want to install the ROM on NAND, you can't install the ROM that you used for SD, you have to find the NAND version of the ROM in the HD2 Android NAND Development
Installing on NAND is quite more difficult when you begin. It's also more dangerous and might brick your phone if you don't take care.
Follow one of the tutorials posted on the forum, you'll have to make familiar with a lot of terms and tools, and it's important that you understand all your actions.
Always make a backup prior to install a new ROM, for this you have to use the Backup/Restore tool of ClockworkMod... your new home
(You start ClockworkMod from MAGLDR - Option "AD Recovery")
Good luck
Thanks for the advices.
I´ve been playing with miui for a few days and so far i like it.
Question.
Right now im playing with my htc sense rom in nand, and miui in sd.
Even if the apps of the htc are in the sd, miui cannot see them. Do i have to redownload and reinstall everything i need for miui?
Specially worried about some apps that were payed...

No just download 'titanium backup' from the Android Market, backup all apps then restore them on the SD build.
