I just rooted my phone and installed fresh rom. LOVING IT BY THE WAY. I installed titanium backup and backed.up the lock screen apk before deleting it to get the standard android lock but I can't seem to find out how to reinstall it should I just re flash the rom to get it back? Oh and I did do a nandroid backup before I deleted it thanks in advance

If you did a nand backup, then just restore it.
Thanks man I really appreciate it. But I've got another question non related about Roms can anybody recommend a good stock rom that still has hdmi and 4g I liked cm6 but it is clearly lacking these features

For a great stock based ROM, I recommend Ava's z1 or MikFroyo. If you don't want much Sense in your phone, go with VaelPak 3.0 for sure. It rocks and runs with less of HTC's bloat than any other ROM I have ran.
Also, in the future, if you want to delete apk's from the system for whatever reason, just rename them with a file explorer like Root Explorer. Just navigate to /system/app and locate the apk, like htclockscreen.apk and rename it to something like htclockscreen.apk.old. That will make it disappear until you decide you want it back, then you can just rename it back, and you're good to go. That will work with just about any app you don't want around any more. Plus it has the benefit of being easily reversible if there are problems associated with it's removal.
Thank man life saver!

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

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.

If your wife's phone is rooted and you install this, you will lose root. If that's not a big deal, then go for it.
does the update delete everything on your phone?
if so, how do u backup/restore stuff? and how do you get the apps/games u purchased back without rebuying?
any other issues to know about? does the update reinstall att bloatware? do i have to put it back to stock to update?
i rooted to uninstall that stuff and to be able to install 3rd party apps, but never used a custom rom.
i'd really like to be able to use my 8gb sd card for apps since i have no space, so i am thinking of updating now and rooting later once it's available.
Why does everyone pay for apps that's what 4shared is for :-D

If you are already rooted, then you should seriously look at and consider Liberated Aria FR008. This ROM is based off the European Gratia complete with HTC Sense and does not have any AT&T bloatware, has an OC kernel and also used Dark Tremors Apps2SD which is much better than the native Froyo App2SD feature. If you like HTC Sense and want the Froyo 2.2 features, then this is the ROM to use.
If you choose to install the AT&T Froyo 2.2 update, it will wipe your phone clean and you will loose root and you will be stuck with all of the AT&T bloatware with no way to remove it.
For apps that you bought and paid for in the Market, these apps are tied to your gmail account, so if you reset your phone, you can reload the apps from the Market without any additional charges.

where do i get this rom, instructions? what about the cm7 2.3 version?
will using roms delete anything currently on my phone?

Yes, flashing a new ROM will usually delete anything currently on your phone. If you are rooted, You can use "My Backup Root" to save your apps and settings, text messages and phone log and then restore them after you flash a new ROM.
Here is the official thread about CM 7 RC1:

Here is where you can download CM 7 RC1 and the nightly updates. Starting with Nightly 11 the code base is now Android 2.3.3.

i was waiting for this official 2.2 update for some reason, but now i realize i shoulda just used a rom. so i can backup with myroot (which i already have), but i'll have to reinstall the app before i can restore? reinstalling wont overwrite the backup folders on my sd card will it?

Yes, if you backup with myroot, you have to reinstall myroot from the Market and then you can restore the backup. Flashing a new ROM will not wipe anything on your SD card.
For contacts you can export them to your SD card or sync them with your Gmail account. If you export them to your SIM card, the CM 6/7 ROMs cannot read them off the SIM card.

CM 7 is based on Android Open Source Project code. It is almost as pure Android as you can get UI and interface wise. You can still customize the UI with widgets and such, especially if you buy some from the Market. So bottom line is with CM 7 you can customize the phone however you like.
HTC Sense is the UI that is built into the stock Aria and now the AT&T Froyo update. That UI uses special widgets developed by HTC to enhance the user experience and these widgets only run on an HTC Sense ROM. Will you miss Sense? It's hard to say. It's really a personal preference.

i dont think i'll miss it after reading some more on it.
so do i have to start off with the original update-cm-7.0.0-RC1-Liberty-signed.zip
then update to a nightly, or can i just start off with the most recent nightly? wasn't sure since they are about the same MB size.
also, what about this app2sd dark tremor thing. do i need that? why is it better than the regular app2sd?

You can just flash the latest CM 7 nightly, but you need to follow the installation steps listed in the CM 7 RC1 thread first (i.e. format system, format data, format cache, etc.).
DT Apps2SD isn't as big of deal if you are going to run CM 7 IMO. If you were going to use the Liberated FR008 Sense ROM I would recommend it because it does a better job than the Froyo 2.2 APP2SD.

copy your sd card files over to pc which includes all your backup of titanium onit, once you have flashed rom, formatted sd etc and new rom is installed get titanium backup back off the market copy your sd files back and then restore but if you are changing roms completely and not doing an update id recommend just doing a back up of your apps because if you restore over your existing settings it may corrupt the rom (NOT TO SURE NOT TRIED IT MYSELF)

Hello guys, I own a wildfire and I'm having a bad time with it.
I use Launcher pro, lot of widgets installed, 2gb card that has very few free space and my problem is that it is SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW.
Slow as hell.
I just cant stand it anymore.
I have stock rom, not even rooted, all stock except launcher and widgets.
I need advice on what steps should I do to make it run smoothly, cuz I'm half step from throwing it out of the window.
Give some advice on the steps I sould do, root, custom rom, oveclock, anything that might work.
Also, if you can post me the threads for the steps I should do, I would be grateful.
Thanks!
I definetely would root it and use setCPU and overclock it.
And put your apps on the SD card instead of internal memory.
That would help I suppose.
But for sure there are other real experts that can help you
Good luck

Hi I suggest you take a look in the wildfire buzz ''dev'' section. I would root and try some roms. CyanogenMod 7 I use with overclock and its alot faster/ smoother. Also got some tweaks to improve it more. I hope this helps you.

buy a galaxy gio 120 euros and you have one or a other mobile because the wildfire would be forever slow im happy thats mine wildfire is broken.
tweaks are for cm7 and can be used on other roms. Depends on what you need. Also cm7 has its own tweaking in settings. As for downgrading, if you are on hboot 1.01.0002 then you need to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Or if you on 80.00002(something like that can't remember exact number), i would upgrade to 1.01.0001. Revolutionary only at present works with 1.01.0001 as far as I'm aware. But honestly I think you will like the difference once done.
Bro, I even start to type and the whole phone lags, when I open handcent sms, it takes A CENTURY to open....
I hope the difference will be noticable.
Is CM7 the most stable?
Can I have a backup to my current state? So in case something goes bad I can recover?
just go for cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 stable, that should do the trick for you. will be faster and smoother and with decent app2sd. and yes you can do a backup, its called a nandroid back up and you perform it from your custom recovery( dont worry you`ll get one during the process of rooting ect). a nandroid back up is and exact copy of how your phone is now. rom/apps/appinfo everything. so if **** hits the fan you can always go backto your nandroid backup. also if all else fails you can use a htc program called a ruu which will completely revert the phone back to stock. hboot recovery rom all of it
I just rooted and installed CM7. I have a problem, I followed this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365159
And I used the backup at the step 31, with the revolutionary thing.
Well before the wipe, I backed up a lot of things, except my contacts. Is there any way I can find them inside this backup that was made during step 31?
Well the phone runs a little bit more faster but not that fast.
I'll try OC and we'll see.

or make a nandroid backup, then restore your previous backup, download an app called contact2sim and copy all of your contacts over to your sim. and then reflash your nandroid. or i think the stock contacts app has the ability to export all your contacts to your sdcard as a .xml file, take that and then you can out them on your other nandroid and on your pc for safe keeping
