Hi Guyz,
Just got a mytouch 4g last month. Rooted it and am using MIUI 1.8.5 . Muts say its very iphone like.
What i wanna know is can e download Desire HD/T-Mobile G2/Evo 4g ROMS AND flash it in Mytouch 4g as all the others are also WVGA devices and have a 1 ghz procccy..
if they were the same phone, then they wouldn't be different phones.
No, what i wanted to ask is can we flash a desire hd/g2 custom rom on mytouch 4g... there is a rom called WARMZ Two-Point-Two for mytouch. When i flashed that rom in the Model type it says HTC Desire Z..
Now can anyone plz give me a straighforward answer.

No, you can't. Even ROMs made for extremely similar phones like the Desire HD can't be flashed directly to the MT4G. I can't tell you why exactly, but that is the case. Frankly, I'm sure why you'd want to. We have a pretty good selection of ROMs available already: AOSP Froyo, AOSP Gingerbread, MIUI, Froyo/Sense 1.x, Gingerbread/Sense 2.1, Gingerbread/Sense 3.0, etc.
I believe your device could be seriously bricked if you were to attempt to flash other phone's ROM's.
okiee... i was in fact going to flash the Honey3d rom for desire hd onto my MT4G...Thank god ..didnt do it....
Also now that T-Mo MT4G slide is out , can we flash its rom onto MT4G OR is a port beign developed for MT4G -considering it has 2.3.3 and other goodies.....

I understood what you were asking, and I answered it. I just didn't draw it out in crayon. my point was that if there weren't any differences between the phones, then they would be the same phone.
Bro..no offences plz... i was asking as i read in one website that u can flash roms onto different devices having the same resolution and processor.

Almost all Android high end devices have WVGA resolution and 1GHz CPU.
Even more, almost all HTC devices made for the last year contain exactly the same CPU (MSM8255).
It doesn't mean a thing, and you can't flash builds from one device to another, unless they're exactly the same device - otherwise in the best case some functionality will be missing and in the worst case you'll have a brick. And that was the first answer.
I don't know what website you've read it on, but I guess that from now on you shouldn't believe anything read on that website.

Since the HTC legend recently got Android 2.2 Froyo w/ sense, is there going to be someone to port the rom to the Slide?
I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.
So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread
Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

Nope, all you need to do is a wipe before installing it so you dont get any weird errors
Okay thanks I will flash it, froyo aside, are there any REALLY good stable sense roms out there? Not espresso roms but original HTC sense? flash would be nice

Oh man it works amazingly, I had to disable javascript for the browser to run alright though. Otherwise it is an amazing rom. I ran into some less than polite stuff when I posted in the thread, but I suppose I am a noob. Thanks for the suggestion.

Doesn't look like he's rooted. You can't just install Sense 3.0 like you install Launcher Pro.

I just rooted my phone today and flashed a rom with sense 3.0. It's pretty awesome, i think i am gonna stick with it for a while.
If you are not rooted, please do give it a try. Just make sure you make the appropriate backups.

Guys please search a bit on the forums. You can find the custom roms in the android development forum
Also yes sense 3 roms are gingerbread.
Now, since they are mostly.experimental, do some research first, get to know some android terms (like nandroid ,clockworkmod, fastboot, adb ,RUU etc) read all of the stickies and then go flashing a rom. What's important when flashing roms/radio/recoveries/bootloaders is to understand what you are doing before doing it. If you do it that way, there are high chances your device won't end as a decorative rock/brick on a bookshelf
Also this is not the correct section

Yes, the guy is correct. Reading up is very important.
You could try one with 3.0 mods, 3.0 lockscreen, weather etc.
The rom that i am on now is InsertCoin, stable build. Very stable, and it's on gingerbread. I highly recommend it.
I have been searching these pages for a while now and its talked about a stock gingerbread g2 rom but I can't find a good link for one. Can some one please post a link to a completly stock rom?

Hi all,
I wonder if this can also be loaded "as is" on an european Desire Z...
I'm looking for a simple rom to improve battery life, the stock HTC Sense rom is so hungry...
many thanks
b.
My replacement came with stock 2.3.3 for the G2...It stinks, there are other much better roms out there.

Funny, I rather like the rooted stock GB roms rmk40 and Xboarder56 put out. No problems upgrading for me, as long as I used the "superwipe" on Xboarder's OP.
If you're having battery life issues, a different rom may not help if the problem is bad cell reception or a hardware issue. If it's a background task gone loopy (K9 Mail's background service does that in marginal data coverage areas), then it might help to swap roms. Nandroid is your best friend. Backup early & often.

Is it possible to install that ROM on my Desire Z that I bought in Europe? I'd like to change it.
Thanks,

well the MT4G already has an official 2.3 gingerbread update, but I doubt we'll be seeing sense 3.0 as an official UI. t-mobile uses a modified version called MySense on the mytouch, so at the very most we might be able to get an official update to look like the doubleshot (MyTouch 4G Slide), but I doubt it
whats wrong with rooting?? unless you have the bad chip
Thanks for that.. as you said we might not get 3.0 at lease one more ginger bread update to give us Gtalk video chat? is that on cards?
yes, you can go to a local t-mobile store and they can hook you up there or you can download the update from the development section and flash it in fastboot. Ill try to find the link...

In all honesty, I think that's it for our phones for official updates. The GB 2.3.4 is most likely the last one. This phone is about to hit it's end of life cycle, especially with the new line of myTouch's coming out in a month or so.
And even if we did get an update, which I know we won't, Sense 3.0 is highly unlikely. That firmware is only coming out to dual core phones at the very least. So I think your best bet would be to root and then subsequently install Sense 3.0 via Virtual Unity.

cause sense rocks.
and technically speaking, HTC GLACIER already has sense 3.0
http://www.virtuousrom.com/
THanks for that.. so will T-mobile at least give us a 2.3.5 update with Gtalk video chat? can some one confirm this with T-mobile?
Dang I want sense 3.0 too but I have gb an the downgrade method seems to risky
Ginger 2.3.4 S=Off No Root
So I did the steps for the update and when I restart the phone I see that it found it and its checking it but after that way do I do...I pick the factory reset I think that's what its called..but after that everything is the same...so I need help I don't know if I'm doing it right or leaving a step out
The mytouch already has OS 2.3.5 and sense 3.5 but that's only if your rooted.

it also has 2.3.7 if you flash the latest nightlies of cm7 (no sense 3.5 though, that's another rom :X)
Hey Everyone,
I have a rooted desire z with an insert coin rom installed.
I want to mess around with ROM Manager. When I go to perform the 1st step, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, it asks me to confirm phone model.
Options are HTC Desire HD and HTC G2. I would assume I want to use the G2 as this is pretty much the G2.
My phone was originally Bell Mobility.
Any insight would be great.
Thanks.
Yip choose the HTC G2
thanks!...now to decide what rom to try.

Choose whatever you want. But remember there are more options than show up in ROM manager. You can download from the dev section too
Also, ALWAYS back up in recovery before flashing. Save yourself a lot of headaches.
Dont limited yourself to what can be downloaded through rom manager, head to the developers section here and read up on the different flavoured roms

And recoveries lol, 4EXT is actually pretty damn cool, and has more features than cwmr, and it's from the same creator I believe
This is only my 3rd adnroid, 2nd i've rooted.
The 1st was a Rogers Dream so I was limited to CM6 really.
One thing I wonder on the desire z is do I need to flash a different kernel? I would guess no since the insert coin rom I am running is Gingerbread 2.3.4 the kernel would be fine for something like CM7.1.
Anyone running CM 7.1 on a desire z? how is it?

When you install a new ROM (like cm7) it installs a new kernel with it. FWIW the CM7 stock kernel is amazing.
There are thousands of people running CM7 on the Vision. Head over to the 7.1 thread and see what people are saying. Its worth a try. I like it.
If I go with CM7.1, any way to get a good looking sense clock/weather widget? The ones on market suck to put it simply....
The onlything I like about sense really is that widget...

Different developer, but 4EXT is based on CWM.
I guess I could just use Launcher Pro instead of ADW and then buy the Sense Widget for $1.50...

hmmm.... so? what ROM should i download? CM7? or InsertCoin? what do you recommend guys?
Why don't you just try yourself? Would take much less time than reading about personal preferences of people
I never tried CM and probably won't in a visible timeframe, because I chose HTC over Samsung because of Sense (and the fact that my operator had the DZ dirt cheap compared to others ).

I prefer InserCoin. More complete for the device. CM7.1 is okay...but like the last person said, sense is why some ppl like htc...buy htc...etc.
It is all personal preference, but from what I have found so far...sense roms, insertcoin included are much nicer on the device...
