To all of the ROM Cooks ad brilliant minds like Haykuro, MarcusMaximus04 and everyone else who contributes their skills to the Android scene. I consider myself myself to be an expert in terms of tech savvy as I am an IT Administrator but I am by no means a programmer. I for the life of me could never build a Windows Mobile ROM that worked well and find the same to be true for Android ROMS. Big props to those who can!
I recently acquired a G1 and immediately came back to XDA for new ROMS with more features and better usability and I have not been dissapointed. After installing and reinstalling all of my apps over and over after every ROM upgrade I decided to jump in to the Apps to SD mod. After reading Marcus' tutorial and then actually following Haykuros directions for his ROMS I could not be happier. Flash the ROM run through the ADB steps and viola, all my apps are back. Genius!
Again, props and BIG thanks to everyone who contributes. I may never be able to build a ROM or Script but I will do my best to answer questions for problems I have had resolved for anyone who has a similar one.
I need help with rooting my hero I have the newest software out for it (1.56). I'm really confused on how to do this . Some say use the sdk others say use flipz kitchen. I would also like to use the 2.1 Rom. Could someone plz tell me what to do. What's the best way to do this. Where can I find the 2.1 Rom. There's so many things you can do to the hero like having the nexus boot screen. So please someone help me
Umm... to post this topic you had to have looked over 1000 topics that explain it very clearly..
re rooting hero
Yea I looked at a lot of them which way is the best and I have not seen anything about loading roms. How do I know which one to use since I 1.56 the newest software version. Tried flipz and the sdk on. Vista but it does not work on vista.
My Uncle gave me his old HTC HD (Telstra Branded) running 6.1
I would like to upgrade it to 6.5 but have no Idea where to start or where I can get a cooked rom from .
I found a tute on flashing the 1.56 roms but the more I read the more confused I become. There is soooooo much information on here I am suffering from information overload and I cant seem to find a really basic step by step guide or where to download the cooked roms from all the links I follow are broken.
Its very frustrating for a newbie!!
Can someone please give me a leg up!

Hey Darkfibre,
Welcome to the world of phone flashing! First of all it's very important to know what kind of phone is it, is it GSM or CDMA? After that, you'll have to unlock the phone in order to flash a custom rom. If you've got a GSM device, then XDA is your best friend, if you have a CDMA phone then head over to ppcgeeks.com. Each site will have detailed instructions on how to unlock and flash your phone. Then it's just a matter of trying out a few roms until you find one that suits you. Goodluck and happy flashing!!

No worries, just follow this step by step guide:

It'll answer all questions.
Thanks the heads up guys.
I am just wondering what uncle is going to say when I tell him I turned his HD into a BRICK.
Here goes nothing
One can always use a good door stop! Goodluck!
Hi everyone.
Well I built up the courage and now its 6.5 Energy.Blackstone 21908.Sense2.5 rom.
WOW Wat a buzz when it boots up in the new rom.
Love the new ROMS its made the old HD a new phone. Now its smooth and responsive with great usability.
Just LOOOOVS the sense 2.5 interface.
Cant believe how much I have learnt in the last few weeks
You right Krook this could get adictive!!
I would like to get a pinch zoom working just to rub it in the nose of the apple buds!!
I loaded pinch to zoom but it didnt work. Is there a Rom where it works, or should I stay with opera 10.
I also run the android app on it but its a bit micky at the moment.
This **** is really exciting but HOW do you learn it all!!
I really bow to all you guys U the MEN!!!
Hey Darkfibre,
Pinch to zoom isn't really rom specific. I know I had a bit of trouble getting it going the first time. I believe opera 10 is still not supported but that may have changed. It works for me in Opera 9.7 build 35964. You may need to install a different version of opera to get it running. Still not really worth the effort imho but it's a great start.

hey everybody.
ive been having some issues installing roms from coredroid i have tried their desire 2.3 rom and it was soo slow soo soo slow i had to get rid of it. not sure why.
now i installed the froyo rom and the rom is working like a pro but i have no keyboard no keyboard shows up after installation.
i followed their install instructions step by step by step just need to know what is going on whether its the desire or the froyo it sucks pretty bad for me.
secondly
i have been looking around and saw something called miui its been bugging my curiosity so i checked out their website and i guess its a different brand of roms for android. question is what is soo special or unique about them ? and any recommended ones that i can try out maybe ? do let me know i would appreciate the help greatly
thanks
keyboard was a problem with v1.7 froyo. you can ask help for it, in rom's thread, because there were some fixes for it. or you can download a keyboard from market.
miui roms have a launcher similar to iphone. they are smaller in size and fast. they have updates every weekend regularly. their backup-restore function is unique. they have many alternative themes and lockscreens.
Hi guys, I'm pretty much a newbie to this all and was wondering if anyone could help me get my HD2 back to its original settings of being on WM6.5.
I recently upgraded it to 2.2 by NAND ( no idea what that means) but I was successful on getting it up and running on android.
Im now trying to be more adventurous and see if I can boot the rom to 4.4 but just for safe measures, I'd like to know how I can get the system back. Also if anyone can post the links of what Id need to download to get it to 4.4 and how I need to do that from 2.2 would be great. I don't know if I could just upload another android version on top of the 2.2 or if I would have to remove that first.
Thank you in advance

In future search before posting. To flash a higher version of Android (although 4.4 doesn't exist yet and probably never will) check out the guide in my sig. To flash a stock ROM just download one from the HTC website and flash the RUU in the bootloader.
I tried looking for previous posts that would hep, but this stuff is completely going over my head and I am still determined to get my HTC on an upgraded android version. What android version would you recommend? anything more up-to-date than 2.2 would be great (with everything working, I have read posts where some people have had problems with the camera not working)
I have had a look on the HTC website and they no longer support HD2 :-/ How can I restore it? *confused* I'm a complete newbie and a noob, yup both, but I will not be giving up
Further guidance would be great.
I think a JB ROM would be good if you want functionality and the latest version. If you want stability then 2.3 is probably best. The only real solution is to try a few ROMs out and see what you like best.
