hi i just got a zte orange san francisco, ive rooted it .
its gen 1 and i just got it today should i go and use a custom rom, im finding this stock rom quite slow, i would like to get a new rom but am struggling to understand which roms are for gen 1, i like gingerbread stiry fry, however most important is that i would like a quick reliable everyday rom, can you recommend one, or should i wait and use the stock rom for a bit as its brand new
p.s should i change from gen 1 to gen to using tpt upgrade? does gen 2 have btter roms?
please scroll down to end
i have gingerbread stiry fry but my music player isnt working properly
I'd say upgrade to Gen 2 if you want/need Gingerbread ROM's.

upgrading seems quite complex, reading this tut
http://android.modaco.com/topic/3377...2-tpt-upgrade/
but it says None of the downloads on this page will work if your phone was sold with or operator upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo
im running the swedish swing blade which is 2.2 so how do i change? and what is MD5s?

It's not that complex.
Is your phone the UK San Francisco? If so then it's neither sold or operator upgraded to Froyo and the TPT will work.
Use the All in one Ginger Stir Fry TPT if you want to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hallo all
I am currently using cynogen's 3.4.6 ROM and love it.
I want to try out a Hero ROM.
In your opinions, which Hero ROM should I try?
Thx for any info you all can give.
Wait a couple days and you will see 3-4 Roms pop up using the newly leaked release of the Hero Rom including a superhero version.

I agree, I tried out the new leaked one, and dang is it amazing. Just a tad bit buggy at the moment, however vast speed improvement and a very nice looking gallery application with that TouchFLO feel. I switched back to Haykuro 6.0.1 however for now just to wait until a more reliable version is released. Just a fair warning, I was unable to use Nandroid to restore, I got a boot loop for some odd reason no matter what I did. I had to start from scratch.
Did u have the new spl??
Yes, I use the new SPL.
I guess I shall wait then. THX!!
I tried out JAC's Hero ROM and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! REALLY slow though. Went back to Cynogen's.
Running JACs Hero 2.0 beta and a lot faster now. Still a lot of bugs but I'm sure they will be fixed in the next couple of days.
what spl did you use? which is the newest?
the best rom until now is the superhero v2.is fast and stable.download from here.

I used the newest SPL.
I followed the 2 SD card method listed in the SPL thread AFTER reverting back to JF's 1.43 recovery image and everything was done in minutes and working fine.
Hi, for the past 6 Months i have been a htc Magic owner but ive just recieved my Hero which i have now rooted. Its currently running a Modaco custom Rom formware 1.5 but i want an update. I normally use Cynogens Roms for my Magic, Can anyone recomend a good Rom for my Hero thats very stable please?
This one has issues I.E the backlight and screen never switch off. Its constantly on draining the battery to death. I was thinking of installing the generic rom on there so it can update automaticly when the provider releases the Rom. is that a bad idea?
Thanks you, and Merry Christmas!!
Merry xmas bud,
if i were u, knowing what i do now, i would continue with the MCR's...
v3.0 is spot on for me w/regards to having no bugs/issues... (also looks sweet with Ratcoms ''Clear as a bell'' theme http://www.4shared.com/file/166539476/ad6fb729/clear30.html )
If u wanna venture into the Android 2.0/2.0.1 realms, i played with most of them but they each lack ''core'' elements which is a must for me for day to day usage...
hope some of this helps.
Dickie.
thanks for that, i've been holding out for a 2.1 hero rom for a while now. I guess i may go with the modaco rom until htc get their act together with the 2.1 hero rom.
I have to say i'm massively disappointed with the hero support... i guess this is what happens when open source fragments!
thanks a lot!
If i install one of the generic roms off Modaco http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-24-11-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/ i will recieve the update earlier compared to the T-mobile carrier Rom wont i?
Thanks

not as far as im aware...
as with most custom roms, someone usually gets hold of a pre release, and base their rom on that before anyone receives it OTA or via the appropriate website. Then, when the official is released, they update it with the kernel etc from that... (with their tweaks etc...)

i agree mate
Hi,
Can I go ahead and flash the Android 2.2 OS from android developers website? Will it work?

NOT DEVELOPMENT RELATED MOVED TO GENERAL
we have three 2.2 roms:
fyodor 0.7.2c
SP-froyo 2.0
SPQRom 0.4.1
all are very stable but BE AWARE: CAMERA DOESN'T WORK and there are other little bugs that are being fixed...
I did this earlier this week using the manual root method, RA-recovery & fyodor ROM. As long as you read the instructions several times before starting and have all the tools to hand, fairly straightforward process.
BUT there are some annoying niggles that may make you delay. For me, not having handsfree Bluetooth means that I can't use the 2.2 ROM as I spend a lot of time in the car. Similarily, CoPilot doesn't work on 2.2 an ALK have yet to release a patch.
IMHO the 2.2 ROM is miles better on Tattoo than 1.6 (faster, neater, smaller) but does have some outstanding issues that you need to consider before flashing.

Thanks so much for your quick reply, Albert & Maxi.... Well, my phone is just 2 weeks old. I had played around a lot with my HTC elf, which was out of warranty. I am just concerned weather it will void my tattoo's warranty. Also, could you please brief me what else doesn't work apart from the camera. I called up HTC support today and they were not really helpful in tellin me about the update for my tattoo.
According to you both, which is better, 2.1 or 2.2?

Mithun.

I haven't used any 2.1 ROM's so can't comment but when you have rooted & RA-recovery on your phone, you can flash a ROM in a matter of minutes so you can quickly decide which version / variant is best for you.

the last version of copilot works on froyo
anyway in my opinion it's ok to choose between 1.6 or 2.2 but 2.1 is a NONSENSE 'cause camera doesn't work in 2.1 and 2.2 is faster and faster...you can install apps to sd without any patch...

Bro, I also wanted to know whether it will void the warranty since my phone is just 2 weeks old and I have a years warranty. Is there any way I can restore my phone to the original state after flashing a custom rom? I had done that on my elf before.... Where can I download stock rom for my tattoo?

Yup. Just do a backup.
As for warranty, HTC might try to use that as an excuse not to fix the phone. But unless the problem is related to the rom...
Only some specific rom (the ones that do overclocking and such), are actually susceptible of causing hardware problems)
And of course, switch back to stock rom, to make sure the issue you might have is not rom related.

Sorry but what is it that you're asking?
He's asking for the latest official HTC ROM that's unbranded and untampered, as he can't find it through the search function.
is it this?

I believe you are looking for this?
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698421
This is nearly stock, but rooted and unbranded ROM. Not sure if this one gets FOTA though.
seee, this is what i`m talking about isn`t there a clean rom for the legend the one that works 100% as it should not, the rom that comes with the legend that you buy from htc not a service operator, the more i read on each rom people say that this one is for faster web, upgradable but no sense, works perfect but no gps suport, these are the trates of a custom one,
I really apreciate the effort but that isn`t the one i`m looking for, saw that one thow.
If i root my phone will it affect the posibility of an update to Froyo OTA?
Ah, so you want the latest official ROM without rooting?
Well, if you're currently on a firmware lower than 2.03 then go grab the RUU for that ROM on shipped ROMs
Thank-you finally some enlightment
Hi all
First post here, read alot though.
I have a magic which was running a 2.1 rom and now running cyanogen 2.2 rom.
Both were slow and now its got to the point where i avoid txting cause the keyboard disappears and doing stuff on my phone as its so slow.
Im looking for solutions to this.. they may come in either a form of recommendation from a magic user with a fast older rom.. but preferably i would like to go back to stock and then maybe sell it.
I lost my original nandroid backup when shifting computers.
But i have another identical magic from my workmate that is untouched that i could make a copy of and place on the slow one if its possible and someone could tell me how.
Semi new to android rom'ing but been in IT for years and now work for Vodafone. So will be able to follow any instructions.
NZ Vodafone HTC Magic 32b
Thanks in advance
Wolfsta
Anyone able to help me with this?
Thanks
Wolfsta
That phone is just slow in general
On my magic I have amen ra's latest recovery and a rooted version of the official tmobile ota froyo update its somewhere in the androind development part for mytouch. Amen ras new recovery alows you to partition the sd card so you can you can put more swap memory I put 92 and 512. And it also helps if you overclock and manage your running programs.
Sometimes if you don't flash the rom right it makes it run slow too
