I recommend Cyanogen ROMs. By far my favorite. I used them on my Magic and not on my Glacier.

Stock ROM
Here's the stock ROM link if you want to go back....

You might lose root if you go back. Iced Glacier ROM is about the same as the stock ROM without all the TMo stuff. You might like it if you are already rooted.
Hope this helps

if you are wanting the MySense back, all you have to do is download the file, store the MySense Nandroid backup on your SD card and flash it. You do not have to do everything else mentioned.

Oh ok what file would that be under and do I have to go to file manager or rom manger?

Edit#1:
DANG IT ! ! !
The Unlockr changed their "un root method", now they are telling people to do it via the PD15IMG variation.
Let me see if i still have the BONE STOCK Nandroid file they had @ home. I don't think i have it with me.
If i have it i'll upload it to my google docs and PM you the link for it. I don't want 9.2Million People accessing it.
If you cannot find the stock nandroid back up somewhere then you will have to do the pd15img restore and start from scratch.
Edit#2: I do have it, and i am uploading to my Google Docs as we speak, i'll shoot you a PM with instructions.

ROM Manager downloads for HD2

Will all us HD2 users ever be able to download .zip ROMs straight from ROM Manager? And possibly even have Cyanogen nightly support for HD2?
I was just wondering as this would make installing new ROMs so much easier, instead of having to connect to my PC etc.
Replies welcome.

isnt that what CWM does? you download the zip to your phone and flash fromthe phone, no need to hook to a pc

Yes but so far there is no support for HD2
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Just come on here through mobile and download that way, how easier could it get?

Yes but it would be much more practical, and we wouldn't be able to receive nightlies, and not all Roms are on here! If you look in rom manager in the desire sections there are lots of roms I have never seen mentioned on xda before

I can't download hyperdroid from rom manager it says file is corrupt
Also cyanogen 7.0 does download but. When its done it ask me to clear data and it then reboots
To my old Rom.

Youre right.
I use desire z, and has Rom Manager installed.
If I want to flash new rom, I just open the ROM Manager and let it download and run it. And it will reboot to the new rom (custom Rom, actually)
But, I usually cannot stay long, I always go back to stock rom because I really miss sense UI
Cheers

[Q] Noob Here need Cyanogen Help

Hey, so I couldn't find this in the search!
I finally got rooted and installed cyanogen rc3 via rom manager. Now I want to get Arabic support, does anyone know how to do this? I am leaving for the middle east on Sunday so please help ASAP!
And also is it worth it to overclock the mytouch4g for a noob like me?

Overclocking is extremely easy just be careful on how much. Flash a kernel and dl setcpu from the market. But I can't help ya on Arabic support you could try the cyanogen forums

Actually overclocking can be done from within the performance settings in cyanogen. No kernel needed.

I found this:
vrami.net/?p=635
Which tells me I need to flash the Arabic and it gives a zipfile, this is for cyanogen. How do I flash the arabic zip file? Do I put the zipfile onto my SD card, then reboot the phone while holding the volume down button and select flash from sdcard, etc etc?
Thanks

To flash the .zip you need to boot into recovery > install .zip from sdcard > let me choose > pick the .zip and flash it.
make sure to do a Nandroid back up first.

you are correct on that end. SetCPU does allow for a wider arrange of options. However personally i found that when i cut the CPU down when the screen was of killed my battery. I get much better life not using it.

Gapps in Mytouch with CM7

I'm lookin, and looking and looking, ans as many newbies have to ask something that might sound stupid...
How do I install GAPPS in a mytouch4g that I just flashed with Cyanogen 7.0.2???
I just downloaded it 3 times and everytime I want to flash it, it says bad and aborted. I need this to finish installing things in my phone!!!!

Are you using ROM manager and clockworkmod?

Either you downloaded the wrong gapps version or the one you downloaded is currupt. Just redownload and make sure you're downloading the 20110307 gapps and reflash.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

well, there is only one to download from cyanogen site. I know that there are even 4 different versions for cm6 but for cm7 there is only one, and I have downloaded 3 times from there and one from another site. There should be something else.

Yes to both.

Open rom manager. Click download rom. Click Google. Click the newest one. When its done let it restart and install.
If you want to do it manually... it will be on your SD card under
/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/goo-inside.me
To do it manually just flash the zip from recovery.

Hmm... as I stated in another thread, it seems it was an issue with the microSD... Installing other apps now...
But thanks to everyone... I'll keep posting my progress.

Beta Test for BootManager(multi-boot app)

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....

Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.

I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.

Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!

Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.

Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?

got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!

thank you. gonna look into this now

Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)

looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!
